Pyrite from Bolivia is known for forming beautiful, well-shaped crystals, often appearing as sharp cubes, pyritohedrons (12-sided shapes), or even complex, stepped growth patterns. Bolivian pyrite tends to have a bright, brassy gold color with a good metallic luster, and it’s often found in association with other minerals like quartz or galena. 

Much of the pyrite from Bolivia comes from mining regions such as Potosí and Oruro, areas famous for their rich mineral deposits. While pyrite is common around the world, Bolivian specimens are valued for their attractive crystal habits, clean formations, and the quality of the material.

Pyrite is known as a stone of protection, abundance, and confidence.  It is believed to shield against negative energy and promote mental clarity and willpower. 

This top Bolivian specimen is in very good condition.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

This is a must have 155.6 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 83x51x27 mm.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This amazing specimen of Vesuvianite was collected in the now closed Jeffery Mine in Asbestos, Québec, Canada. The specimen is made up of a combination of green and mauve vesuvianite crystals also named violet manganoan vesuvianite. It is a large specimen in good condition. A great addition to any collection!

Vesuvianite was first discovered on Mount Vesuvius in Italy in the 18th century, hence its name. It typically occurs as a green, brown, yellow, or blue-green crystal, and is often found in metamorphic and igneous rocks. The alternate name, Idocrase, is from the Greek eidos “form”, and krasis “mixture”, because Vesuvianite often appears to combine the crystal forms of other minerals. It is used as a gemstone.

Peruvian pyrite is famous worldwide for its well-formed, highly lustrous crystals. The country is one of the top sources for high-quality pyrite specimens, particularly from the Huanzala Mine in the Áncash Region and the Quiruvilca Mine in La Libertad. These locations produce stunning pyritohedral crystals, often found in association with quartz, sphalerite, and galena.

The term “pyritohedral” refers to a specific crystal habit that pyrite (and occasionally other minerals) can form. In this structure, the crystal takes on a polyhedral shape with 12 faces. However, unlike a perfectly symmetrical shape with identical pentagonal faces, natural pyritohedral crystals often exhibit slight irregularities or distortions in their faces.

Pyrite is known as a stone of protection, abundance, and confidence.  It is believed to shield against negative energy and promote mental clarity and willpower. 

This top Peruvian specimen is in very good condition.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

This specimen shows a group of well-shaped emerald-green dioptase crystals on pearly white calcite crystals . Dioptase is an uncommon copper mineral prized for its intense green colour. It is found in only a few copper mines world-wide, but the best examples come from Tsumeb, Namibia.

The Tsumeb Mine, one of the most famous mineral localities globally, produced dioptase with deep green hues, high clarity, and sharp crystal formations. Unlike dioptase from other locations, Tsumeb specimens often occur on a contrasting white calcite matrix, enhancing their visual appeal.

The Tsumeb Mine in Namibia is no longer actively producing dioptase. The mine, which was one of the world’s most famous mineral localities, ceased large-scale operations in the 1990s. While some minerals can still be found from old stockpiles, no new dioptase specimens are being extracted from the mine today.  This makes Tsumeb dioptase highly collectible, as no fresh supply is entering the market. Existing specimens, especially those with deep color, good transparency, and well-formed crystals on matrix, are increasingly rare and valuable among collectors

Dioptase is often associated with emotional healing, forgiveness, and heart chakra energy. Some believe it encourages letting go of past wounds and embracing compassion. It is also thought to promote inner clarity and transformation, making it popular for personal growth and emotional balance.

Name: Dioptase on Calcite Crystal
Specimen Size:  Cabinet-Sized

Creedite is a rare mineral that is best known for its radiating crystal clusters, which can appear in transparent to translucent orange, purple, white, or colorless hues.  It was first discovered in Creede, Colorado, USA, which is how it got its name. Today, some of the best specimens come from Mexico (notably in Chihuahua), Kazakhstan, and Bolivia. In Mexico, creedite is often found as vibrant orange clusters, making it a favorite among collectors.

Creedite is thought to support spiritual growth, intuition, and clarity. Some believe it stimulates the third eye and crown chakras, aiding meditation and insight. Its bright, radiating form is often seen as a symbol of light and transformation.

This is a very unusual, sculptural cluster of Creedite.  It is secured to a base in order to display and protect the crystal, and is mesmerizing in person.  Would be a great addition to any new or existing collection.

This is a superb individual Tsarev meteorite weighing 142.2 grams. Its dimensions are 71x44x29 mm. Twenty-eight specimens of this L5 classified meteorite were found in fields.  The largest mass weighs 284 kg, the smallest 761 gr with a total weight of 1.23 Tons. The greatest distance between the find sites was 6.0 km.

In 1968, amidst a global surge in conflicts, a remarkable discovery was made in a small village in Volgograd Oblast. This region, known as the primary site of the Battle of Stalingrad—one of the largest and bloodiest battles in history—yielded an extraordinary find in the quiet fields near the rural village of Tsarev.

The Tsarev meteorite, named after the Russian word for czar, is a stone meteorite responsible for one of the largest meteorite showers in Russian history. This meteorite shower occurred on December 6, 1922, but the stones were not discovered until 1968 and only recognized in 1979. The Tsarev meteorite's mineral composition matches that of ordinary chondrites, including olivine, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, maskelynite, calcium phosphates, nickel-iron, troilite, chromite, ilmenite, and rutile.

Academic analysis of the Tsarev meteorite reveals significant features: large grains of nickel-iron, light grey areas with well-preserved chondritic texture, and dark areas containing a matrix with olivine grains and remnants of chondrules. 

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