Olivine Volcanic Bomb | Lava Coated Crystal | 254.5 gr | Mt Shadwell Volcano, Australia
$140.00 CAD
Unit price perOlivine Volcanic Bomb | Lava Coated Crystal | 254.5 gr | Mt Shadwell Volcano, Australia
$140.00 CAD
Unit price perAn 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.
This piece has been cut to showcase the beautiful green olivine crystals. It would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

Impactite Breccia Suevite | 96.3 Grams | Chassenon, Rochechouart Structure, France
$138.00 CAD
Unit price perImpactite Breccia Suevite | 96.3 Grams | Chassenon, Rochechouart Structure, France
$138.00 CAD
Unit price perThis is a must have 96.3 gram Impact Breccia, also referred to as Suevite, from the famous Rochechouart impact structure in South Western France, near the village of Chassenon. Although not a meteorite, impactites are directly linked to them and their impacts and are probably going to be one of the rarest collection items you'll ever own. Impactite is a slag-like glassy object found on the surface of the earth, formed from rock melted by the impact of a meteorite.
Named after the town of Rochechouart, the Rochechouart impact structure is located on the western margin of the French Massif Central near the city of Limoges, approximately 350 km (220 mi) south of Paris. Rochechouart (population about 3800) is built with rocks created or modified by the impact (impactites). Chassenon, a third of the size of Rochechouart, is also built of impactites. Impactite was used 2000 years ago for building Chassenon's monumental Roman baths of Cassinomagus.
The very fine materials (impactoclastites) are preserved forming a very fine layered horizontal deposits on top of the melt rich suevite (breccia with a debris matrix and both rock debris and melt fragments as clasts) near Chassenon.
The term impactite encompasses shock-metamorphosed target rocks, melts or suevites and mixtures of the two, as well as sedimentary rocks with significant impact-derived components and shocked mineral grains, tektites, anomalous geochemical signatures, etc. This impactite was formed 186 million years ago. This deformed rock fragments and partly molten are imbedded in a melt matrix showing typical flow structures from former melt.

Labradorite is an unusual mineral. It can display a beautiful iridescent play of colors, caused by internal fractures in the mineral that reflect light back and forth, dispersing it into different colors. This effect, known as labradorescence, gives Labradorite its appeal and fame.

Unit price perNWA 2965 Fossil Meteorite | 1.49 Grams | Slice | Rare Enstatite EL-Melt Rock | Paleomet
$51.00 CAD
Unit price perThis is a superb slice of the famous Northwest Africa 2965 meteorite, it weigh 1.49 grams and measures 26x22x1. This is 1 of only 26 approved meteorites classified as EL-melt rock.
This North West Africa was first classified as an Enstatite EL6/7, then became an EL3 and finally ended up being classified an EL-Melt Rock meteorite; it was found along with the rest of the total mass of more than 100 Kilograms in the Algerian Desert in August 2005. This is one of the oldest meteorites on our planet in terms of terrestrial age and has been referred to as a fossil meteorite.
This Enstatite chondrite shock Level is minimal and weathering varies from 2 to 5. This piece displays extremely well and is a completely recrystallized enstatite chondrite with polygonal to irregular grain outlines. The grain size varies from 0.02 to 0.7 mm. Round, curved, blocky objects contain coarser-grained orthopyroxene than in the matrix. No relict chondrules were observed.
This hard to acquire piece displays very well with its diamond lap finish, it is a high quality specimen that would make an amazing addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with Canagem specimen card.

Unit price perGreen Vesuvianite Crystal | Large 41 Gr | Closed Jeffrey Mine | Asbestos, Quebec
$121.00 CAD
Unit price perThis amazing specimen of Vesuvianite was collected in the now closed Jeffery Mine, Asbestos, Quebec, Canada. The specimen is made up of a combination of green and mauve vesuvianite crystals. It is a large specimen in good condition. A great addition to any collection!
Vesuvianite was first discovered on Mount Vesuvius in Italy in the 18th century, hence its name. It typically occurs as a green, brown, yellow, or blue-green crystal, and is often found in metamorphic and igneous rocks. The alternate name, Idocrase, is from the Greek eidos “form”, and krasis “mixture”, because Vesuvianite often appears to combine the crystal forms of other minerals. It is used as a gemstone.

This is a stunning Henbury classified meteorite weighing 6.4 grams. Its dimensions are 21x11x8mm. This Iron (IIIAB) Medium Octahedrite classified meteorite was found in the Northern Territory of Australia in 1931. So far approximately 2T of this material have been recovered. This piece displays extremely well. This Australian find is very well shaped and preserved. These pieces are becoming more difficult to acquire so this is a good time to get a fine specimen.
Henbury fell 8 miles southwest of the town of Henbury, Australia almost 10,000 years ago. RA Alderman investigated the site in May 1931 based upon Aborigine stories. He found 13 craters, the largest of which was 720 x 360 feet. Few meteorites were found in the largest three craters indicating an explosive impact. Some of the Henbury meteorites are shrapnel shaped indicating this explosive ending and some have smooth edges indicating abrasion by an atmospheric passage.
