This is a great looking part slice of the Cole Creek H5 Chondrite classified meteorite.  The slice weighs 0.45 grams and measures 12x7x1 mm.  

A mass of 16.3 kg was found January 1, 1991 by Clay Fowler; it was exposed about two feet below the surface in an old road cut. The cavity from which the stone was removed is covered by a thin layer of undisturbed modern soil, inspection of the find site by V. L. Souders, Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Nebraska, USA. Olivine Fa18.5, analysis and classification, A. Brearly, Dept. of Geology and Institute of Meteoritics, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87131, USA. Information by A. W. Struempler, Chadron State College, Chadron, Nebraska 69337, USA, where also the main mass is located.

The specimen comes with a BA-Meteorites.de.vu and a Canagem specimen card plus a professional metal label. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

This is a great looking part slice of the Kabo H4 classified meteorite.  It weighs 0.75 grams and measures 11x9x2 mm. The Kabo meteorite fell on April 25, 1971, at about 4:30 p.m. local time (1530 GMT), in Kabo, Gwarzo District, Kano State, Nigeria.  The total known weight of the meteorite is 13.4 kg.

The shower occurred on a Sunday afternoon while farmers were in their fields. Sound directions and crater asymmetry indicated that the meteorite approached from the west. "Thunder-like sounds were heard consecutively and these were followed by the inclined descent of a reddish object with trails of cloudy smoke following it". During the following week the District Head collected the specimens and forwarded them to the Emir of Kano. One specimen was recovered in two pieces of about 3 kg each, one stone weighed over 5 kg, one almost 3 kg, and the smallest 0.9 kg.

The specimen comes with a Michael Cottingham Collection and a Canagem Collection specimen card. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

Iceland Spar, also known as optical calcite, is a clear, transparent variety of calcite famous for its unique optical property called double refraction. When you place the crystal over text or an image, it appears doubled — a visual effect that occurs because light splits into two rays as it passes through the crystal. This fascinating trait made Iceland spar historically important in early optical instruments and scientific studies, including navigation and the development of polarizing microscopes.

It’s typically colorless or very lightly tinted and forms naturally in sharp, rhombohedral shapes. High-quality Iceland spar is most famously found in Iceland, though it also occurs in places like Mexico, the U.S., and China.

Iceland Spar (optical calcite) is often associated with clarity, insight, and truth. Because of its double refraction property, some see it as a symbol of seeing beyond surface appearances — helping to highlight different perspectives or reveal hidden aspects of a situation. It's thought to support clear thinking and honest communication, making it a favorite for meditation or decision-making spaces.

Samarskite is a radioactive rare earth mineral. Samarskite crystallizes in the orthorhombic – dipyramidal class as black to yellowish brown stubby prisms although it is typically found as anhedral masses. Specimens with a high uranium content are typically metamict and appear coated with a yellow brown earthy rind.

Samarskite-(Y) is rich in rare earth elements (REEs), niobium (Nb), and tantalum (Ta)—all of which are valuable in advanced electronics, alloys, and green energy technologies. The mineral can also contain trace amounts of uranium and thorium, which may cause it to be slightly radioactive.

Due to its uranium content, samarskite-(Y) is considered radioactive. It's recommended to wash hands after handling and avoid inhaling dust when breaking or handling the mineral. 

This specimen is in very good condition and displays very well.  Make this a special specimen in your collection. 

Name: Samarskite (Y)

Weight:  3.4 Grams / 0.12 Ounces   
Origin: Luster # 2 1/2 Pegmatite, South Platte Mining District, Jefferson County, Colorado, USA 

Health Warning:    Contains uranium – always wash hands after handling. Avoid inhaling dust when handling or breaking. Never lick or ingest. Avoid prolonged exposure in proximity of the body. Store away from inhabited areas.

A superb example of fossilized brachiopod from Wapienno, Polanda. The high degree of preservation of the shell makes it much more special. These long articulate brachiopods are characterized by a triangular shell with a spherical profile, powerful ribs, a curved hinge line and a small umbo. The anterior margin shows a tongue like projection. Like most brachiopods, Rhynchonella was a stationary epifaunal suspension feeder.

Name: Rynchonella sp. Brachiopod
Age:  Jurassic
Location:  Wapienno, Poland
Dimensions:  28x24x18 mm / 1.1x0.9x0.7 inches 
Weight:  12.7 grams / 0.45 oz

You will receive the exact matching iridescent ammonite halves pictured here.  They measure 34x26mm.

This is a perfectly fossilized and highly polished natural Ammonite from Morocco, which is perfect for gift giving to a new fossil collector. Ammonites are perhaps the most widely known fossil, possessing the typically ribbed spiral-form shell. These creatures lived in the seas between 240 - 65 million years ago, when they became extinct along with the dinosaurs. They belong to a group of predators known as cephalopods, which includes their living relatives the octopus, squid, cuttlefish and nautilus. It is probably going to be one of the rarest collection item you'll ever own. These are perfect if you make jewelry and similar crafts or as a fossil collection item.  

This is a great looking Northwest Africa 2865 L4 classified meteorite part end cut. It weighs 10.76 grams and measures 30x25x8 mm.  This meteorite was found in the Sahara Desert in 2004 and the total recovered weight is recorded as a low 1503 grams.  It has a Shock stage of 2 and a Weathering grade of 2.

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

This is a superb looking fragment of a Sahara Desert NWA 515 classified meteorite weighing 1.086 grams. Its dimensions are 17x9x5mm. 

This meteorite was found by Berber nomads in the deserts of Africa. Hundreds of small stones, more then 20 kilograms in total, was purchased November 8th, 2000 in M'Hamid, Morocco, Africa by a group of meteorite dealers and collectors. 247 grams was donated to UCLA were it was classified by A. Rubin as an L6 Chondrite with a shock rating of 2 and a weathering grade of 3 (25% olivine). Cut pieces of this meteorite show a nice light matrix with golden hues.

Thin sections (2nd photo) show nice chondrules ranging in size from less then 1mm to 3mm.  Thin sections are used in earth geology, and in meteorites to identify the minerals in them. Stone meteorites are made of mostly of olivine and pyroxene. The pyroxene is typically greyish or yellowish and the bright colored minerals scattered throughout the photo are mostly olivine.

This piece displays extremely well and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a The Mark Bostick Collection and a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a grouping of NWA 2224 meteorite micros.  Although still considered unclassified, this meteorite was given the provisional class of CV3 for Carbonaceous.
