This is a great looking Bereba classified meteorite specimen weighing .19 gram.  A single stone weighing 18 kilograms was observed falling on June 27, 1924 at 3:30pm in Burkina Faso  This Eucrite-mmict classified meteorite and is 1 of only 304 approved meteorites classified as such. This is a very difficult fall to acquire.

It is recognized as a monomict breccia, providing significant insight into the geological history of the asteroid 4 Vesta, from which it is believed to originate.

This piece is a very desirable type of material and a great specimen all around. The specimen comes in a protective display case. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card plus one from origin.

This meteorite came from the Elbert King meteorite collection. Labeled as "UNDOCUMENTED" and side noted, "#2". The stone was first recognized as a meteorite by KSU geologist Doug Brookins at the university in Manhattan, Kansas.

The meteorite was "discovered" on the desk of a university secretary where it was being used as a paper weight. A fitting job for any meteorite. The original find date is unknown. Elbert King acquired the aerolite from Brookins in a trade. It was unclassified and part of the King collection at the time of his death. A single stone, 301 grams, is all that is known of this find.

The Kansas Meteorite Society acquired it in 2004 and sent 26 grams to UCLA were it was classified by Alan Rubin in October of that year. The meteorite is a stone chondrite H4, W3, S1. Officially named the "Kansas State University" Meteorite in February 2005.

This piece is part of Kansas history and a special specimen of great importance for the collector of interesting material. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Mark Bostick Collection and a Canagem Collection specimen card.

Here we have for you an amazing 3.51 grams Irghizite Tektite from the Zhamanshi Crater in Kazakhstan. Its Dimensions are 21x10x14 mm.  These specimen were first found in 2003 and dates back 900,000 ± 100,000 years.

Unlike other Tektites which can be found hundreds of miles from their point of origin, this is found in and around the crater formed by the impacting body.  In this case it is speculated to be of cometary origin due to analysis of the elements contained within the Irghizites and other impactite found in the crater which are called Zhamanshinite.

This piece displays well and is a great size showing multiple characteristics of its origin.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a rare and fantastic 22.8 gram Libyan Desert Glass from Kuffra, Libya, with dimensions of 37x26x27 mm.  Although its exact origin is still debated, the leading theory suggests it was formed by a high-energy event, such as a meteoric impact or airburst, that melted the desert sand directly where it lay, without being ejected into the atmosphere and re-entering. This results in different physical characteristics compared to tektites.

Libyan Desert Glass is found specifically in the Great Sand Sea of the Eastern Sahara, within a more localized area spanning parts of western Egypt and eastern Libya.  Characterized by its yellow to greenish-yellow color, it lacks the aerodynamic shapes of tektites and often appears as irregularly shaped pieces. It is almost pure silica (around 98%) with very few impurities. Throughout history, it has been regarded as a mystical and powerful material, sometimes used in talismans and amulets.

This piece displays extremely well and is a quality translucent specimen. It has an aesthetic shape with a beautiful wind eroded body from the years spent in the Desert. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a fabulous 21.8 gram Sericho Pallasite Main Group meteorite, it measures 36x27x20 mm.  In 2016, two brothers were searching for their camels and came across several large, dense stones west of the village of Habaswein and south of Sericho, Kenya. Though recognized as meteorites in 2016, the masses had been known to camel-herders for decades. One village elder said that as a child, he and his brothers would play on top of the stones.  It is classified as an Iron Pallasite main group with low weathering and is 1 of only 68 approved meteorites classified as such, with a recovered weight of about 2.8 T.

This piece displays extremely well and is a nice size showing great features. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a fantastic 10.06 gram NWA (Northwest Africa) 788 L5-6 classified meteorite perfect individual specimen found in 2001 in the Sahara Desert.

Polylithionite and Aegirine from Poudrette Quarry, Mont Saint-Hilaire (MSH), Quebec, represent a classic mineral association from one of the world's most important alkaline intrusive complexes. Polylithionite is a rare lithium-rich mica that typically forms thin, lustrous hexagonal plates or rosettes with a silvery, pearly, or pale bronze appearance. It commonly occurs alongside Aegirine, which develops as long, dark green to black prismatic crystals Aegirine crystals that are often sharply terminated and may occur individually or in radiating spray. The contrasting crystal habits and colors create an attractive natural association that is characteristic of Mont Saint-Hilaire. 

Specimens containing Polylithionite and Aegirine are valued for illustrating the unique mineral-forming environment of this geologically significant Canadian locality. It is the perfect combination for those looking for a unique and beautiful addition to their mineral collection!

This combination of Serandite and Aegirine from Poudrette Quarry, Mont Saint-Hilaire (MSH), Quebec, is considered one of Canada's classic mineral associations. Renowned for its extraordinary mineral diversity, this quarry has produced some of the world's finest specimens of both minerals. Serandite forms beautiful salmon-pink to orange-pink prismatic crystals, while Aegirine grows as glossy black, often sharply terminated blades, that may occur individually or in radiating sprays. These minerals are often accompanied by white Albite or Analcime, producing beautiful specimens.

Serandite is the signature mineral of Mont Saint-Hilaire and is the most sought-after species coming from that locality.  This beautiful crystal cluster would be a great addition to any new or existing collection.

This is an incredible green/yellow fluorapatite crystal from Cerro del Mercado (Iron Mountain) at Durango, Mexico. It is completely free of the matrix and has a relatively perfect termination. The specimen came from the Earl Calvert Collection.

At Cerro de Mercado numerous veins containing gemmy, lemon-yellow to greenish fluorapatite crystals cut through the hematite massif. These crystals have been collected for decades from the area's iron mines, but they have become much scarcer with recent mechanization of the mining operations.

The bright, lustrous apatite crystals form hexagonal shapes with off-center terminations. They are found in vugs, often associated with quartz and calcite. Most crystals are around an inch in length, though larger crystals up to about 4 inches long have been found.

This is a great looking oriented individual Gao-Guenie H5 classified meteorite. It weighs 11.53 grams and measures 23x20x13 mm. It is classified as a stone chondrite H5.  This H5 classified meteorite was observed falling at about 17:00 March 5, 1960 near the village of Gao in Burkina Faso (formerly Upper Volta), Africa. There is no total known weight recorded for this meteorite.

Thousands small stones have been found in the area by locals. When this meteorite entered the atmosphere it broke up into thousands of pieces. Most of these pieces just tumbled randomly, but one out of a hundred stabilized and presented the same side toward the direction of fall. As the rock on the front of the meteor melted it flowed backwards along the side and when the melted rock reached the back edge some of it rolled over the edge into the relative calm at the back of the meteor and formed a lip. The back side of the meteor can be smooth or rough depending upon how quickly it stabilized in flight. The quicker the stabilization the rougher the back surface. As the meteor slowed to terminal velocity the flow lines and rims froze in place. You can see the roll over rim on this piece.

Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem® Collection specimen card.
