Chabazite is known for its distinctive crystal structure and its occurrence in a variety of geological environments. Its crystal structure consists of interconnected channels and cavities. Chabazite is found in various locations around the world, including Italy, Iceland, Scotland, the Faroe Islands, the United States (especially in the Pacific Northwest), Canada, India, and Australia. Different localities may produce chabazite crystals with varying colors and characteristics.
These chabazite crystals are from Wasson’s Bluff, Nova Scotia, Canada. Wasson's Bluff is recognized as producing great specimens with colors varying from pink to orange to red. This zone has seen collection of specimens almost exhausted due to the ground erosion. These particular specimens are a lovely orangey color and are in very good condition. Make these a special specimen pair in your collection.

This Pectolite specimen comes from the Poudrette Quarry at Mount-Saint-Hilaire and displays a nice terminated crystal.
Pectolite crystals are known for their unique crystal habits, often forming as slender and elongated fibers radiating from a central point. These fibers can be densely packed to form globular masses. Pectolite can be tough and dense but is often delicate and soft to the touch. It can tarnish brown or black upon exposure to air. The crystals can be found in various colors, including white, gray, light yellow, brown, pink, orange, salmon, and light blue. The blue variety, known as Larimar, is highly sought after and is found exclusively in the Dominican Republic. Pectolite is primarily used as a collector's mineral.
Great looking translucent crystal cluster, an excellent specimen from the world renowned location that is MSH. This beautiful crystal would be a great addition to any new or existing collection.
Name: Pectolite crystal
Specimen Size: Thumbnail-Sized
Dimensions: 28x14x7 mm / 1.1x0.5x0.3 inches

Origin: Mined in Poudrette Quarry, Mont-Saint-Hilaire, Québec, Canada
This is a must have 3-gram Impact Fallback Breccia from the Wanapitei Impact Crater at Wanapitei Lake, near Sudbury in Ontario Canada. Its dimensions are 37x13x5 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.
Wanapitei Lake, located northeast of Sudbury, Ontario, is a 37-million-year-old meteorite impact crater, with its impact origin confirmed by the presence of suevite found in glacial drift surrounding the lake. Suevite is a type of breccia containing dark, vesicular glass formed under high-pressure shock metamorphism
Identified in the 1970s, the suevite at Wanapitei is a crumbly, shock-metamorphosed rock that often contains coesite, a high-pressure mineral diagnostic of impact structures. The impact occurred during the Late Eocene epoch, roughly 37 million years ago. The crater is estimated to be 7 to 8.6 km in diameter, with the lake sitting on the edge of the much older and larger Sudbury Basin. The suevite appears very similar in composition to that found in the Ries crater in Germany, often containing bits of dark glass and partially melted clasts.
Note that this is not a meteorite but a slice of Earth rock, altered by a meteorite impact. A very, very large meteorite. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.
This is a must have 78.92-gram Impact Fallback Breccia from the Wanapitei Impact Crater at Wanapitei Lake, near Sudbury in Ontario Canada. Its dimensions are 112x78x5 mm.

Cubanite is a rare copper-iron sulfide mineral prized by collectors for its distinctive brassy-yellow metallic luster and geometric crystal forms. This exceptional specimen originates from the now-closed Henderson No. 2 Mine in Chibougamau, Québec—a historically significant locality that produced some of the finest cubanite crystals in North America.
At 6.27 grams, this piece represents a substantial and well-formed example of the species. The mine's closure adds to the collectability and scarcity of material from this source.
This top specimen is in very good condition and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.
Name: Cubanite on Matrix
Specimen Size: Thumbnail-Sized
Dimensions: 28x16x8 mm / 1.1x0.6x0.3 inches
Weight: 6.27 Grams / 0.2 oz
Origin: Mined in Henderson No. 2 mine, Chibougamou, Québec, Canada
This is a great fluorescent Scapolite and Biotite crystal from Ontario. Fluorescent scapolite, often referred to by the synonym wernerite is a well-known, highly reactive fluorescent mineral found in Haliburton County, Ontario, particularly within the Bancroft area. These specimens are prized for their bright reactions under ultraviolet (UV) light.
Haliburton scapolite often fluoresces a bright yellow under longwave (LW) and midwave (MW) UV light. Some specimens, especially those from specific roadcuts, can exhibit a bright red or magenta color under shortwave (SW) UV light.
The specimen is in very good condition. Make this a special specimen in your collection.

Aegirine, also known as acmite, is a rare and stunning black mineral. It is found in many locations around the world. 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.
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.

Astrophyllite is a striking and rare mineral known for its bronze to golden-bladed crystals that radiate like starbursts, often embedded in a dark matrix of other minerals. The name comes from Greek, meaning “star leaf,” referring to its star-like crystal formations. It is found in locations such as Russia, Norway, Greenland, and Canada. This specimen of Astrophyllite and Natrolite crystals originates from the world famous site of Mont-Saint-Hilaire, Québec.
Astrophyllite is often seen as a stone of inner illumination and self-discovery. Some believe it helps reveal hidden potential and encourages personal truth, making it a supportive companion during times of change or reflection. It’s sometimes associated with letting go of the past and embracing a more authentic path forward.
Natrolite is an uncommon zeolite mineral, often found in opaque white crystal clusters as seen on this great specimen. There are other traces of minerals such as aegirine in this complex matrix in a spectacular shape.
This specimen is in very good condition and displays very well. Make this a special specimen in your collection.
