All Specimens

This is an aluminum label with all the information regarding the Saratov, Russia meteorite.  This flat model fits nicely in a Riker type box or our own Alder wooden boxes.  This is a professional way of identifying and displaying your collection of meteorites.

This is a great looking meteorite collection in a Riker style box containing individual specimens selected for you.  From Guangxi, China you have a Nantan meteorite specimen; from Kenya you'll find a Sericho specimen and from the Northwest Africa a NWA 4293. The Riker collection box is approximately 85x110x23mm (3.3x4.3x.9 inch). 

You will receive 1 Riker box containing the above meteorite 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 Nantan meteorites are a must for all collectors, more so that it is now very difficult to find worthy specimen. They are a very interesting IAB-MG iron discovered in 1958 and there is an estimated 9.5 T of this material. This is 1 of 88 approved meteorites classified as Iron, IAB-MG.

The individual Northwest Africa or NWA 4293 formerly known as NQ10 is an H6 chondrite found in the Sahara desert in 2005 and is one of 5854 approved meteorites classified as such. This fascinating meteorite was mainly found as small individuals and the total weight of the 100's of pieces recovered is recorded as a low 25 kg. The meteorite has a shock stage of 4 and weathering grade of 2. 

Then this Stony-iron or Mesosiderite Vaca Muerta (Dead Cow) classified meteorite was found in 1861 in the driest desert of the world called the Atacama, Chile. Although most have a weathered exterior, they also have lots of metal inside. Classified as a Mesosiderite A1 is 1 of only 7 approved meteorites classified as such, with a recovered weight of about 3.83 T.

Each specimen shows very well and is a perfect size to proudly display in your collection.  Also included is a stand for the Riker box and a Canagem Collection specimen card for each meteorite. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

The "as found" Sericho is a Pallasite Main Group meteorite.  Two brothers were searching for their camels and came across several large, dense stones west of the village of Habaswein and south of Sericho, Kenya.  Though recognized as meteorites in 2016, the masses had been known to camel-herders for decades. One village elder said that as a child, he and his brothers would play on top of the stones.  It is classified as an Iron Pallasite main group with low weathering and is 1 of only 68 approved meteorites classified as such, with a recovered weight of about 2.8 T.

The specimen of the famous fall Sikhote Alin from Russia is a must in any collection. This Iron (IIAB) Coarsest Octahedrite classified meteorite was recovered in Russia after the fall of February 12, 1947. These specimens are known as shrapnel specimens, ripped and torn edges reminiscent of bomb shrapnel. They broke due to atmospheric pressure and/or mid-air collisions, and possibly explosive fragmentation upon impact. So far approximately 23 tons of this material has been recovered.  

The Seymchan meteorite was found in 1967 in a brook-bed flowing into the river of Hekandue, a left tributary of the river of Jasachnaja of the Magadan district, USSR. It is classified as an Iron Pallasite main group and is 1 of only 48 approved meteorites classified as such, with a recovered weight of about 323 Kg.

Each specimen shows very well and is a perfect size to proudly display in your collection. Also included is a stand for the Riker box and a Canagem Collection specimen card for each meteorite. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

This is a great 147.5 gram fossilized Micraster from Rzezusnia, Poland.

Micraster is an extinct genus of echinoids from the Late Cretaceous to the early Eocene. Its remains have been found in Africa, Antarctica, Europe, and North America. Micraster was an infaunal echinoid living in a burrow below the sediment surface. The test (hard shell) is clearly bilateral and there is a deep anterior groove to take in water containing organic particles to the mouth. The tube feet keep a supply of nutrient-laden water moving into the burrow. The anus has a waste tube behind it.

Although dinosaurs are the most well-known fossil life forms, Equinoids are also a favorite among those familiar with Paleontology (the study of the development of life on Earth). The specimen measures 60x60 mm.

Microcline is one of the most common feldspar minerals. It can be colorless, white, cream to pale yellow, salmon pink to red, or bright green to blue-green. Microcline forms short prismatic or tabular crystals that are often of considerable size: single crystals can weigh several tons and reach yards in length. Crystals are often multiply twinned, with two sets of fine lines at right angles to each other. This gives a plaid effect that is unique to microcline among the feldspars.  The nice patch of Quartz crystals makes this a spectacular piece. 

This is a quality specimen that would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing rock collection.

Moissanite has become a popular alternative to diamonds for jewelry.  Moissanites have a similar appearance to diamonds and often look nearly identical to the untrained eye. They share the brilliance, sparkle, and fire that diamonds are known for, making them an attractive choice. With moissanite, it is possible to have a beautiful gemstone for a fraction of the price of a diamond.  Moissanites are primarily produced in laboratories, offering a controlled and consistent quality. This aspect appeals to those who prefer gemstones with known origins and minimal environmental impact.

Originally discovered in a meteorite crater, Moissanite is well known worldwide as the world’s most brilliant gemstone, better than diamonds. Moissanite is incredibly rare in its natural form; however, lab created moissanite is identical to the original with hardness second only to diamond.  Moissanites have a hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs scale, while  diamonds are a 10.  This makes moissanite suitable for everyday wear and less prone to scratching or damage.

This sparkling pink octagon cut moissanite is a great choice for any jewelry project.
