This is a stunning Henbury  classified meteorite weighing 6.88 grams. Its dimensions are 21x11x10mm.  This Iron (IIIAB) Medium Octahedrite classified meteorite was found in the Northern Territory of Australia in 1931. So far approximately 2T of this material have been recovered. This piece displays extremely well.  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.

Henbury fell 8 miles southwest of the town of Henbury, Australia almost 10,000 years ago. RA Alderman investigated the site in May 1931 based upon Aborigine stories. He found 13 craters, the largest of which was 720 x 360 feet. Few meteorites were found in the largest three craters indicating an explosive impact. Some of the Henbury meteorites are shrapnel shaped indicating this explosive ending and some have smooth edges indicating abrasion by an atmospheric passage.

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

Himalayan Quartz refers to quartz crystals originating from the Himalayan mountain range, a region with complex geological activity. These crystals, found in various formations and sizes, exhibit clear to milky white coloration and may contain unique inclusions. The mining of Himalayan Quartz involves extracting crystals from the high-altitude regions of the Himalayas, often requiring careful and manual extraction methods due to the challenging terrain.  A fracture of the base matrix, shown in photos, is firm and solid and not showing any movement.  It appears to have been caused by the pressure of the internal crystal growth.  This beautiful piece will be expertly packaged in an insulated double box system.

This is a very desirable crystal, it's clear and very showy on both sides of the matrix. Mined by hand, Himalayan Quartz Crystals are found at altitudes of 10,000 to 15,000 feet, high up in the Himalayan Mountains in an area near the border of Tibet and Nepal. These deposits might be the oldest deposits known in the world. The locals believe that these crystals are the “Eyes of God “ and that they hold the knowledge and wisdom of all past yogis and saints of the Buddhist and Hindu traditions. These crystals are carried on their backs by sherpas for great distances over and down the mountain trails to reach civilization.

Due to these facts, very few crystals ever reach the marketplace so they are much sought after by collectors.

Himalayan Quartz Crystals are a stone of power, amplifying energy and intention; they raise one’s consciousness towards enlightenment. The crystals help to shield one from negativity and aid in accessing past and future lives and realities.

These are cabinet-sized Hourglass Selenite Crystals from Salt Plains, Oklahoma.  Oklahoma designated the unique hourglass selenite crystal as the official state crystal in 2005 after elementary school students from Bryant and Red Oak School petitioned the state legislature.  Hourglass selenite crystals are found only on the salt plains of Oklahoma, a unique 11,000-acre geological area. The salt plains were formed by repeated flooding by sea water millions of years ago.

Selenite (hydrous calcium sulfate) is a crystallized form of gypsum, a common mineral in sedimentary environments that can take on a great variety of crystal forms and shapes. Crystals take on the characteristics of their environment - iron oxide in the soil gives the hourglass crystals their chocolate brown color.

Hourglass Selenite is thought to amplify energies, aid in achieving balance and harmony, and align the crown chakra. Its protective qualities are believed to ward off negativity, and it is often used to enhance communication and promote emotional stability.

The weight and dimensions of the glass pieces are as follows:

This is a strand of white Howlite beads with an overall length of 38 cm (15 inches).  The individual gemstone beads are barrel cut in shape and range in size from 15x7 to 16.5x7.5 mm.  In total, the bead strand contains over 154ct of natural Howlite beads.

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. 

Howlite is said to be an extremely calming stone, it can be an excellent antidote to insomnia.  It is also said that Howlite teaches patience and helps to eliminate anger and strengthens positive character traits.

This is a must have 100 gram Impact Melt Rock from the Dellen Crater, north of Stokholm, Sweden. Although not a meteorite, impactites are directly linked to them and their impacts and are probably going to be one of the rarest collection items 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 approx. 89 million years ago when a meteorite crashed into the earth making a round crater which is now a lake about 11 miles wide. The term tagamite was introduced in 1975 to describe impact rock from the Popigai crater in Russia. Varieties of tagamites are described based on crystallinity, texture and clast content.   HT Tagamite differs from other material due to the complete melting of the crystalline matrix and then being subjected to rapid cooling. 

This gorgeous slice displays very well.  It is amazingly light considering its mass of 89x57x9 mm.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.
