This is a fantastic crusted 10 grams NWA (Northwest Africa) 869 L3-6 classified meteorite individual found by Nomads in the Sahara Desert. The dimensions of the specimen are 21x15x16 mm.  This specimen comes from the Hupé Collection.

NWA 869 classified meteorites can still be interesting and this one is for sure perfectly shaped to catch your attention. It displays a superb crust on most of its surface.  Most samples are individual meteorites but some fragments (mostly >1 kg) also occur. In most cases the fusion crust has been polished or ablated by wind erosion. Many samples are more severely affected and show faces with deep wind erosion features. Fracture faces, formed by ground collision, show a typical gray-green color and sometimes visible brecciation (light and/or dark clasts).

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

This is a nice end cut of the Northwest Africa 978 meteorite. This is another of the great and rare meteorites from the Sahara. It is classified as a Stone, Chondrite Rumurutiite, (R3.8). This meteorite was found in 2001 in many fragments and small individuals, very fresh but sandblasted for a low TKW of 722 grams. The Shock stage is registered at 3 and the Weathering grade at 2.

It is one of the rarest meteorite types with only 9 Rumuruti 3.8 type meteorites known,  most being found in Antarctica. This unique group of chondrites has basically no FeNi-metal in comparison to other chondrite groups. The R chondrites also have the highest 17O value of any other solar system material. This piece weighs 3.03 grams an measures  20x14x6mm. Note the flat edge of this piece is crusted, it is not a cut surface.

This hard to acquire piece displays very well with its diamond lap finish and this high quality specimen would make an amazing addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen cards.

Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass formed when lava extruded from a volcano cools rapidly with minimal crystal growth. Pure obsidian is usually dark in appearance, though the color varies depending on the impurities present. Iron and other transition elements may give the obsidian a dark brown to black color.

Most black obsidians contain nano inclusions of magnetite, an iron oxide. Very few samples of obsidian are nearly colorless. In some stones, the inclusion of small, white, radially clustered crystals (spherulites) of the mineral cristobalite in the black glass produce a blotchy or snowflake pattern (snowflake obsidian).
