Howlite was discovered near Windsor, Nova Scotia in 1868 and named after Henry How, a Canadian chemist, geologist, and mineralogist.  It often forms in nodules which resemble cauliflower heads. The nodules are opaque, white with gray or black veins, often showing web-like pattern.   Dyed Blue Howlite is used as a turquoise substitute and is sometimes marketed as turquenite.

Howlite is said to be an extremely calming stone, which may help prevent insomnia.  It is also said that Howlite teaches patience and helps to eliminate anger and strengthens positive character traits.  Blue Howlite specifically, is said to aid in recalling dreams and accessing their insights.

This is a great looking Tagounite 018 L4 classified meteorite part slice with some nice crust.  It weighs 2.72 grams and measures 32x17x2 mm. This meteorite was found in the Sahara Desert in 1999 and has a total recovered weight recorded as a very low 12 kilograms.  Shock stage and Weathering grade are not recorded.  A very good cut, ground and polished slice. A great piece with big chondrules in a mottled brown matrix.

As reported by IMCA, these specimens are not in the meteorite bulletin as they are labeled.  This means that the provisional name or the field name was not used as was assumed at the time of labeling.  So the only information for the specimen is as provided by Mark Bostick.

This interesting specimen comes in a protective case with a signed Mark Bostick Collection and a Canagem Collection specimen card. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

Here we have for you an amazing 0.36 grams premium shaped Irghizite Tektite from the Zhamanshi Crater in Kazakhstan. Its dimensions are 20x8x5 mm.  These specimen were first found in 2003 and date back 900,000 ± 100,000 years.

This stretched and twisted Irghizite is typical of this material. 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 very well and is a very nice size showing multiple characteristics of its origin.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes in a small specimen box and with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a great looking part slice of the Ozona H6 Chondrite classified meteorite. The specimen weighs 2.08 grams and measures 15x7x5 mm. This specimen is from the Mark Bostick Collection.

The Ozona meteorite was discovered on the W. Payen Ranch in Crockett County, Texas, United States, in 1929. However it was not recognized as a meteorite until 1939. Many fragments of this H6 Stone Chondrite were recovered, the largest of which weighed 110 lbs.

Ozona is a veined H6 chondrite.  Don't miss your chance to add this rarely offered location to your collection.  The specimen comes with a Mark Bostick Collection and a Canagem Collection specimen card.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

This is a great looking laboratory vial of the Ozona H6 Chondrite classified meteorite. The specimen weighs 0.158 grams. This specimen is from the Martin Horejsi Collection.

This is a great 29.8 gram Impact Melt Breccia from the Gardnos Crater in Norway.  It is amazingly light considering its mass of 65x34x9mm. Although not a meteorite, impactites are directly linked to them and their impacts and are probably going to be one of the rarest collection item 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 between 385 and 900 million years ago in Precambrian time when a meteorite crashed into the earth making a ~5 kilometers wide crater locally known as the Hallingdal Impact Crater.

This is a rare and fantastic 9 gram Libyan Desert Glass from Kuffra, Libya, with dimensions of 28x21x18 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.

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. 

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