These are whole, uncut lava coated volcanic bombs from Mortlake, Victoria, Australia .  The lava crust on these pieces is complete, they can be showcased as is or cut to show the interior. The lava is most likely covering green olivine crystals.

An olivine volcanic bomb is a type of volcanic rock that contains olivine crystals and has been ejected during a volcanic eruption. Olivine is a mineral that is commonly found in the Earth's mantle and is one of the first minerals to crystallize as magma cools.

Volcanic bombs are large clots of lava that are ejected from a volcano during an explosive eruption. They can vary in size, and their shapes are often streamlined due to their molten nature as they are thrown through the air. When these volcanic bombs contain olivine crystals, they are referred to as olivine volcanic bombs.

The dimensions and weight of each of these olivine bombs are as follows:

A.  32x25x17 mm / 1.3x1.0x0.7 in  |  14.2 gr / 0.5 oz
B.  37x25x22 mm / 1.5x1.0x0.9 in  |  23 gr / 0.8 oz
C.   43x34x21 mm / 1.7x1.3x0.8 in  |  37 gr / 1.3 oz
D.  49x44x34 mm / 1.9x1.7x1.3 in  |  63.6 gr / 2.2 oz
E.  66x44x33 mm / 2.6x1.7x1.3 in  |  113.5 gr / 4.0 oz

This gorgeous classified meteorite is an H3 Chondrite and part of a 22 kg stone plus 11 smaller pieces totaling ~18 kg that were found November 1996 in a dry river bed by a farmer who was searching for Gibeon irons.

People searching with metal detectors recovered hundreds of additional buried, more weathered pieces within 50 m of the original material since 2000 November, bringing the total mass to ~120–130 kg. The largest specimen was used in a garden wall until August 2000.

This amazing piece was professionally prepared and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Baitylia Meteorite Collection and a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a fabulous specimen of black kyanite mined in Marilac, Safira pegmatite district, Eastern Brazilian pegmatite province, Minas Gerais, Brazil.  The specimen will sit perfectly flat to allow easy display in a favorable position.

Kyanite is a silicate mineral and is known to be one of the most attractive natural minerals in the world. Frequently found with lustrous bladed crystals, the intensity of color varies by location of extraction.  Kyanite regularly forms fibrous, radiating crystals, as well as flattened and tabular. Some crystals form with white striations, color bands, and even multi-colored crystals, though typically found with a deep blue streak running down the middle.

This is a nice end cut of the Northwest Africa 978 meteorite. This is another of the great and rare meteorites from the Sahara. It is classified as a Stone, Chondrite Rumurutiite, (R3.8). This meteorite was found in 2001 in many fragments and small individuals, very fresh but sandblasted for a low TKW of 722 grams. The Shock stage is registered at 3 and the Weathering grade at 2.

It is one of the rarest meteorite types with only 9 Rumuruti 3.8 type meteorites known,  most being found in Antarctica. This unique group of chondrites has basically no FeNi-metal in comparison to other chondrite groups. The R chondrites also have the highest 17O value of any other solar system material. This piece weighs 3.03 grams an measures  20x14x6mm. Note the flat edge of this piece is crusted, it is not a cut surface.

This hard to acquire piece displays very well with its diamond lap finish and this high quality specimen would make an amazing addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen cards.

This Microcline feldspar cluster from Nevada is a quality specimen that would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing rock collection.

Microcline is one of the most common feldspar minerals. It can be colorless, white, cream to pale yellow, salmon pink to red, or bright green to blue-green. Microcline forms short prismatic or tabular crystals that are often of considerable size: single crystals can weigh several tons and reach yards in length.

Crystals are often multiply twinned, with two sets of fine lines at right angles to each other. This gives a plaid effect that is unique to microcline among the feldspars.

This is a superb looking Stony-iron or Mesosiderite Vaca Muerta (Dead Cow) classified meteorite weighing 5.2 grams. Its dimensions are 26x12x9 mm.

This classified meteorite was found in 1861 in the driest desert of the world called the Atacama, in Chile. Mesosiderites are formed on the surface of a parent body as a result of impacts with another body. The impact mixed broken fragments of surface eucrites with iron and olivine from deep within the body. Eucrites are believed to have come from the asteroid Vesta. Analysis has shown, however, that the Vaca Muerta eucrite inclusions are not consistent with other eucrites and possibly originated on a different parent body. Although most have a weathered exterior, they also have lots of metal inside and can be prepared and cut to show this.

This piece displays extremely well and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a BA-Meteorites (Dr. Bernhard Brinker, Mineralogist and Martin Altmann, IMCA #3825) and a Canagem Collection specimen card.

Here we have for you a superb end cut of the famous Vaca Muerta (Dead Cow) classified meteorite weighing 3.12 grams. Its dimensions are 20x19x5 mm.

This classified meteorite was found in 1861 in the driest desert of the world called the Atacama, in Chile. Mesosiderites are formed on the surface of a parent body as a result of impacts with another body. The impact mixed broken fragments of surface eucrites with iron and olivine from deep within the body. Eucrites are believed to have come from the asteroid Vesta.

Analysis has shown, however, that the Vaca Muerta eucrite inclusions are not consistent with other eucrites and possibly originated on a different parent body.  This particular specimen is a cut of a eucrite nodule with none of the typical mesosiderite of Vaca Muerta.

This rare specimen displays extremely well and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.  Comes with an ELKK Meteorites and a Canagem® specimen card.
