$1,231.00 CAD
Unit price perThis is a great looking 2.278 kg (5 lbs) Meteor Crater Oxide (Canyon Diablo) individual specimen directly from Arizona, U.S.A.. Its dimensions are 9.9x9.4x8.5 cm (3.9x3.7x3.3 inches).
This 2.278-kg Meteorite Oxide originates from the renowned Meteor Crater in Northern Arizona. Its natural oxidation process offers a unique, rugged texture and appearance, providing an authentic sample of extraterrestrial iron altered by Earth’s atmosphere over time. Ideal for collectors and researchers, this specimen exemplifies the scientific and geological significance of meteorite weathering. This piece was obtained in 2005 from a retiring Meteor Crater employee. It is highly magnetic and very heavy for its size.
-
Formation:As meteorites fall through the atmosphere and land on Earth, the iron and other metallic components can oxidize, forming rust-like coatings.
-
Impact on Appearance:The fusion crust of a meteorite can weather over time, transforming from a black, shiny surface to a rusty brown color due to oxidation.
-
Not all Meteorites Oxidize:While most meteorites have some degree of oxidation, the extent can vary based on factors like the meteorite's composition, the duration of exposure to the atmosphere, and the local environment.
Right now if you want to acquire something like this, the nice folks at the Crater will ask for $1.50 to $2.00 USD per gram. Here you get it for substantially less in the best shape possible. Would make a beautiful addition to any collection or start one today.

Molong Meteorite | 1.24 Grams | Fragment | Pallasite Stony Iron | Rare | Australia
$156.00 CAD
Unit price perMolong Meteorite | 1.24 Grams | Fragment | Pallasite Stony Iron | Rare | Australia
$156.00 CAD
Unit price perThis is a fabulous 1.24 grams Molong stony iron classified meteorite fragment. This superb meteorite was found in Ashburnham, NSW, Australia in 1912 and has a low Total Known Weight of 104 kg. This is 1 of 72 approved meteorites classified as Pallasite, PMG.
This Molong meteorite fragment is a rare 1.24-gram piece of Pallasite PMG (main chemical group) stony iron, originally part of a 230-pound mass found in 1912 near Ti Tree Creek, Ashburnham, NSW, Australia. Known for its unique iron-nickel matrix interspersed with olivine crystals, this specimen offers valuable insight into early solar system processes.
Even though the iron of this ancient meteorite has changed into Meteorite Shale due to its millions of years of exposure on earth, it still shows the beautiful pallasite structure it is famous for and will also reacts strongly to a magnet. Unlike most pallasites you see, Molong is almost all olivine crystals with just a little metal between them. The olivine crystals are semi-translucent, you can't see through them, but you can see reflections from within the crystals.
Its historical significance and scientific value make it an important addition for collectors and researchers specializing in meteoritics. Comes in a protective case with an ELKK Meteorites and a Canagem Collection specimen card.

$264.00 CAD
Unit price perTsarev Meteorite | 60.4 Grams | Individual | L5 Chondrite | Fell Dec 1922 | Volgograd Region, Russia
$264.00 CAD
Unit price perThis is a superb individual Tsarev meteorite weighing 60.4 grams. Its dimensions are 47x40x20 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.

Unit price perAegirine, also known as acmite, is a rare and stunning black mineral. It is found in many locations around the world, and this outstanding specimen comes from the Poudrette Quarry at Mount Saint Hilaire, 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!

Thuathe Meteorite | 8.29 gr | Full Slice | H4-5 Chondrite | Observed Fall | Lesotho
This is a great looking complete slice of the Thuathe H4-5 classified meteorite. It weighs 8.29 grams and measures 36x30x4 mm.
A meteorite travelling east to west exploded over Lesotho producing an elliptical strewn field extending 7.4 by 1.9 km (bearing: ~276°) on the westernmost lobe of the Thuathe (or Berea) Plateau, ~12 km east of the capital city of Maseru.
The explosion was accompanied by an extraordinarily loud, 15 s long noise which was heard over a large (100 km radius) area of Lesotho; the fall was eye-witnessed by several people who reported sightings of dust trails of “sparkling objects” over Lesotho and the southern part of the Free State Province of South Africa. Many villagers of Ha Ralimo, Boqate Ha Majara, and Boqate Ha Sofonia reported falls of stones close to themselves and onto their homes. The estimated total mass of recovered material is ~30 kg, including 418 stones in the 2 g to 2.4 kg mass range for a total of 24.673 kg which were collected and catalogued by A. Ashworth and David P. Ambrose
Most freshly cut slices from several stones show a homogeneous beige to light-grey lithology speckled with abundant and heterogeneously distributed (20% to, in exceptional cases, >50 vol%) metal particles; some are crosscut by dark shock veinlets and show brecciated structure with light grey matrix surrounding lighter colored, well-rounded inclusions; chondrules distinctly recognizable.
Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes in a protective case, and includes a Mark Bostick Collection and a Canagem® Collection specimen card.

Terny Astrobleme Impactite | 14.33 Grams | Slice | Cherkasy Region | Ukraine
$160.00 CAD
Unit price perTerny Astrobleme Impactite | 14.33 Grams | Slice | Cherkasy Region | Ukraine
$160.00 CAD
Unit price perThis is a must have Impactite from the famous Terny Astrobleme, Ukrainian Shield and Crater in Ukraine. It weighs 14.33 grams and measures 42x32x9 mm. Although not a meteorite, impactites are directly linked to them and their impacts and are probably going to be one of the rarest collection pieces you'll ever own. The Terny impactites are important geological specimens that are recognized by the scientific community as evidence of asteroid or comet impacts on Earth.
The Terny astrobleme is a geological formation located in the Cherkasy region of Ukraine. It is believed to be the result of a meteorite impact that occurred approximately 65 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous period. The impact formed a crater that is estimated to be around 6 kilometers in diameter, although it is largely eroded and filled in with sediment.
The Terny astrobleme is an important geological site for studying the effects of meteorite impacts on the Earth's surface and the resulting geological processes that occur. It has been the subject of numerous scientific studies, and specimens of the impactite rocks found at the site have been collected and analyzed for their mineralogical and chemical properties.
