Unit price perNWA 2965 Fossil Meteorite | .48 Grams | Slice | Rare Enstatite EL-Melt Rock | Paleomet
$18.00 CAD
Unit price perThis is a superb slice of the famous Northwest Africa 2965 meteorite, it weigh 0.48 grams and measures 21x17x0.8 mm. 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.
Here we have for you a great looking two part cut of a Sahara Desert NWA unclassified meteorite weighing 32 grams. Its dimensions are 35x31x16 mm. This never classified North West Africa stone was found in Erfoud, Morocco in the Sahara desert in 2002.
It's a very good quality cut NWA meteorite specimen showing incredibly interesting internal structure (L5?) and somewhat attractive with a mottled interior with chondrules and metallic flakes. This complete cut has very large iron inclusions, many chondrules and a nice black fusion crust. Little weathering shows the meteorite's short time spent aging in the desert preserving a nice crusted look. Displays very nicely with a clean cut and polished finish.
Would be a great addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.
Impactite-in-a-Box Mini World Collection Trio | Tektites | Indochinite, Libyan Desert Glass and Irgizite
$49.00 CAD
Unit price perImpactite-in-a-Box Mini World Collection Trio | Tektites | Indochinite, Libyan Desert Glass and Irgizite
$49.00 CAD
Unit price perThis is a great looking impactite Tektite collection in a Riker style box containing individual specimens selected for you. From China you have a Tektite specimen; from Kazakhstan you'll find an Irgizite specimen and from the Sahara Desert a Libyan Desert Glass specimen. The Riker collection box is approximately 85x110x23mm (3.3x4.3x.9 inch).
You will receive 1 Riker box containing the above impactite specimens. Note that the photos provided are representative, so you may not receive the exact pictured specimen; however, you will receive one of each of the specimen listed above of the same or higher value and similar characteristics.
The first Tektite is an Indochinite from Maoming City, Guangdong Province, China, although not a meteorite, it is directly linked to them or their impacts, just consider its age of around 780,000 years old. Tektite can still be interesting just because of the persistent mystery that resisted clear explanations of there creation for generations of geologists.
The Libyan Desert Glass from Kuffra, Libya, 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.
The specimen of Irgizite from the Zhamanshin impact crater, Yrgyz District, Aktobe Region in Kazakhstan is a must in any collection. This natural glass was formed from a meteorite impact melting the local rock which is confirmed with the Zhamanshin meteor crater 14 km in diameter and dated at 900,000 years ± 100,000. Of interest, this tektite glass was often used in paleolithic tool making..
Each specimen shows very well and is a perfect size to proudly display in your collection and they will come with a Canagem Collection specimen card. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.
Rare Red Olivine Volcanic Bomb | Lava Coated Crystal | 77.8 gr | Mt Shadwell Volcano, Australia
$49.00 CAD
Unit price perRare Red Olivine Volcanic Bomb | Lava Coated Crystal | 77.8 gr | Mt Shadwell Volcano, Australia
$49.00 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.
The crystal slice has been finished on both sides showing the red olivine crystals, it also a raw edge which showcases the internal beauty of the piece.
Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a must have 22.25 gram Impactite from Norrbo, Sweden. 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.
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 approx. 89 million years ago when a meteorite crashed into the earth.
This gorgeous slice displays very well. It is amazingly light considering its mass of 50x40x10mm. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This Henbury glass, or more specifically vesicular impactite, was found in the Northern Territory of Australia. Thirteen craters were found 8 miles southwest of the town of Henbury, the largest of which was 720 x 360 feet. Henbury impactite was formed by a meteorite impact that occurred around 4,700 years ago. The meteorite is believed to have exploded upon entering the Earth's atmosphere, creating multiple craters which produced the impact glass.

$31.00 CAD
Unit price perTatahouine Green Meteorite | 0.6 Grams | Individual | Diogenite | 1931 Rare Observed Fall, Tunisia
$31.00 CAD
Unit price perThis is a nice 0.6 gram fragment of the Tatahouine meteorite which is classified as a stone achondrite, Diogenite (ADIO) Ca-poor. This rare meteorite fell on June 27, 1931 at 0130 hours about 2 1/2 mi. NE of the village of Foum Tatahouine, Tunisia.
This rare Diogenite broke into thousands of small fragments, most no larger than a gram. The large mass broke up near the earth's surface and as a result fusion crust is virtually absent, making this a difficult meteorite to recognize. If it had not been witnessed, it most likely would never have been found. Tatahouine is one of a few meteorites that is only available in small sizes, most are under 1 gram.
This piece is a very desirable type of material and a great specimen all around. The specimen is accompanied by two specimen cards, a The Hupe Collection and a Canagem® Collection card. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.
Barite clusters are beautiful mineral specimens that feature intergrown crystals forming visually appealing arrangements. It is typically found as thick to thin tabular crystals, usually in clusters with the crystals growing parallel to one another, or nearly so. It can also occur as bladed, blocky, or even rosette-like aggregates. This is a fine cluster of bladed barite crystals. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.
