This is a superb looking slice of the Shişr or Shi 010 meteorite, weighing 4.4 grams. Its dimensions are  29x24x7 mm. This L5 classified meteorite was part of the 16 stones found in the Shişr Desert of Oman by Russian meteorite hunters in 2001 with a total mass of 17.6 Kg. The shock stage of 3 and weathering grade of 3 is recorded for these pieces.  This meteorite is likely paired with Shişr 008, an L5 that weighed 244 grams.

This piece shows a nice polished face and is a desirable size perfect to show in class or at a science show.  This specimen would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.  Will come with a Canagem specimen card.

This is an outstanding Impact Melt Glass specimen or bomb weighing 7.89 grams.  Its dimensions are 28x28x22 mm.  Although not a meteorite, impactites are directly linked to them and their impacts.

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.

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 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 piece displays extremely well.  It is amazingly light considering its mass.  It has a unique hollow sound when you tap it.  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.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.  Will come with a Canagem specimen card.

Aegirine, also known as acmite, is a rare and stunning black mineral. It is found in many locations around the world, but its most prized specimens come from Mount Malosa in Malawi, where it is often found in association with Microcline.

Aegirine is usually black, greenish-black, or brownish-black in color and has a glassy or vitreous luster. It has a hardness of 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale, which means it is relatively hard and durable. Aegirine is also known for its straight, needle-like crystals that can grow up to several centimeters in length.  

Microcline, a member of the feldspar mineral family, is known for its beautiful color variations and distinctive twinning patterns. When paired with Aegirine, the result is a striking and eye-catching contrast of colors.

Aegirine is believed to have properties associated with protection, energy balancing, and spiritual growth. Microcline, being a feldspar, is often linked to creativity and intuition. The combination of these minerals is thought to enhance their individual metaphysical properties.

This Aegirine on Microcline crystal is the perfect combination for those looking for a unique and beautiful addition to their mineral 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)
Specimen Size:  Thumbnail-Sized  
Dimensions:  18x18x10 mm / 0.7x0.7x0.4 inches  
Weight:  3.4 Grams / 0.12 Ounces

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

A superb example of pyritized ammonites of the genera Kosmoceras, Quenstedticeras and others of the Callovian Stage (161 m.y.a) deposits of Russia. The high degree of preservation of natural mother-of-pearl shell makes it appear to be preserved as fire opal. This is a consequence of light passing through the various layers of aragonite and conchiolin deposited by the ammonite in life. The lack of acidity in the depositional environment allowed them to be preserved as you see here. The environment was also anoxic, leading to formation of Iron Pyrite (Fool's Gold).

Name: Rondiceras tschefkini Ammonite
Age:  Upper Jurassic
Location:  Mikhailov (Riazan Region), Russia
Dimensions:  22x17 mm / 0.9x0.7 inches 
Weight:  3.45 grams / 0.12 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.
