It's a good quality NWA meteorite end cut. Some weathering shows the meteorite's time spent aging in the desert. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a great looking 4.474 kg (9.9 lbs) Meteor Crater Oxide (Canyon Diablo) individual specimen directly from Arizona, U.S.A.. Its dimensions are 15.7x12.5x9.9 cm (6.2x4.9x3.9 inches).

This 4.474-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.

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.

This is a rare and fantastic 50.9 gram Libyan Desert Glass from Kuffra, Libya, with dimensions of 65x44x19 mm.  Although its exact origin is still debated, the leading theory suggests it was formed by a high-energy event, such as a meteoric impact or airburst, that melted the desert sand directly where it lay, without being ejected into the atmosphere and re-entering. This results in different physical characteristics compared to tektites.

Libyan Desert Glass is found specifically in the Great Sand Sea of the Eastern Sahara, within a more localized area spanning parts of western Egypt and eastern Libya.  Characterized by its yellow to greenish-yellow color, it lacks the aerodynamic shapes of tektites and often appears as irregularly shaped pieces. It is almost pure silica (around 98%) with very few impurities. Throughout history, it has been regarded as a mystical and powerful material, sometimes used in talismans and amulets.

This piece displays extremely well and is a quality translucent specimen. It has an aesthetic shape with a beautiful wind eroded body from the years spent in the Desert. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This CV7 classified meteorite was found in the Sahara Desert in 2004 and is 1 of 3 approved meteorites classified as such. The total weight of the recovered pieces is recorded as a low 4.19 kg.

Mr Hupé wrote: "This is a one-of-a-kind Anomalous Primitive Achondrite found in the Sahara desert. Some may ask: OK, another Primitive Achondrite -- What is the big deal? First of all, primitive achondrites are more rare than planetary meteorites and anomalous specimens are among the rarest. Let me tell you the history of this material first and then try to explain its importance.

NWA 3133 was first thought to be either a brachinite or a recrystallized chondrite prompting two laboratories, Northern Arizona University and the University of Washington, to seek oxygen isotope testing, a way to determine its final classification. A specimen was submitted to the University of Western Ontario for this very purpose. The results were received and they plotted so far away from any known achondrite that one scientist had to ask, "How is this possible?" The results were so outrageous and potentially significant that it was decided to send out a second specimen for confirmation. The second specimen was sent to the Geophysical Laboratory in Washington D.C. for analysis. The results confirmed the important findings at the University of Western Ontario: NWA 3133 oxygen isotopes plot further away from the Earth-Moon line than any known achondrite including NWA 011."

This expertly prepared specimen comes with an identification card from The Hupé Collection and a Canagem specimen card. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

This 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 is a beautiful polished free form of Malachite from the Democratic Republic of Congo.  Malachite is perhaps the one of the most popular minerals for collectors due to its intense green color and sometimes beautiful, banded masses.

Africa contains several outstanding Malachite deposits. The mines at Katanga (Shaba), especially at Kolwezi, in the Congo (Zaire) produce Malachite in all sorts of odd shapes and forms, and are the source of the best banded, concentric, stalactitic and sparkling specimens.

Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

Name: Malachite
Specimen Size:  Large Cabinet-Sized
Dimensions: 22x18x7 cm / 8.7x7.1x2.7 inches 
Weight:  3.04 KG / 6 lbs 9 oz
Origin: Mined in Shaba Copper Belt, Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaire)

This 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.

This 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.

Aegirine, 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!

Name:  Aegirine on Microcline
Specimen Size: Miniature-Sized  
Dimensions:  55x47x37 mm / 2.2x1.8x1.5 inches  
Weight:  80.4 Grams / 2.8 Ounces

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.
