Iron Meteorites

You will receive 1 Sikhote-Alin meteorite chosen for you at random.  This size of Sikhote-Alin is great for jewelry making and a variety other small projects.

These are great looking Russian Sikhote-Alin classified meteorites weighing 0.2-0.49 grams.  This Iron (IIAB) Coarsest Octahedrite classified meteorite was recovered in Russia after the fall of February 12, 1947.  So far approximately 23 tons of this material have been recovered.  These specimens are known as shrapnel specimens, ripped and torn edges reminiscent of bomb shrapnel. They broke due to atmospheric pressure and/or mid-air collisions, and possibly explosive fragmentation upon impact. These pieces are a good example of the shrapnel type Sikhote-Alin.

Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a nice 200 milligram fragment of the Huckitta PAL stony iron classified meteorite.  This superb meteorite was found in Arapunya Stn., Northern Territory, Australia in 1924.  The total known weight is > 2,300 kg. 

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 react strongly to a magnet.

This specimen displays extremely well, showing great features. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a PacerMet Baitylia Meteorite Collection and a Canagem Collection specimen cards.

Here we have a Toluca meteorite etched end cut. This incredible specimen weighs 17.96 grams and measures 41x20x7 mm.  Found in 1776, this meteorite has a TKW of 3 tons.  

The Toluca meteorite is classified as an Iron IAB-sLL and was discovered in Xiquipilco, Mexico State, Mexico.  The classification Iron, IAB-sLL means "An iron meteorite belonging to the low-Au, low-Ni subgroup (sLL) of the IAB complex".  This specimen was etched to show its unique widmanstatten pattern.

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

This is a stunning Canyon Diablo classified meteorite specimen weighing 7.47 grams. Its dimensions are 22x13x8mm. This Iron (IAB-MG) classified meteorite was found in Arizona in 1891. So far approximately 30 T of this material have been recovered.

The crater it formed is world famous and is known as Meteor Crater. It is an Arizona Meteorite and one that is a must have for any collection. The Canyon Diablo has been closed to hunting for many years so these pieces are becoming more difficult to acquire and this is a good time to get a fine specimen.

This is a superb and rare Iron ungrouped classified Taza NWA 859 specimen and is an oriented bullet shaped specimen weighing 2.41 grams. Its dimensions are 16x7x5 mm.  

The NWA 859 was found in 2001 in Taza, Morocco.  A total weight of 75.3 kg of mostly small pieces was classified by UCLA as an Iron, ungrouped and is one of 157 meteorites classified as such. 

This bullet displays extremely well and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with both a Canagem Collection and a PolandMet Meteorites specimen card.

This is a stunning Henbury  classified meteorite weighing 6.4 grams. Its dimensions are 21x11x8mm.  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.

This is a stunning fragment of the very rare Veevers classified meteorite weighing 1.74 grams. This meteorite is one of only 15 associated with a crater larger than 10 meters across. The crater is about 1 million years old and is one of only 2 craters older than 50,000 years that have meteorites associated with them. This amazingly well preserved specimen measures 13x8x4 mm.

The Veevers crater is located in the Gibson Desert of Western Australia. It has a diameter of 60-80 meters across and a depth of about 6-7 meters. The crater's rim is raised 1.5m above the surrounding plain, and contains exposed rocks thrown from the center of the crater. The sides are gravelly rock with a few larger rocks mixed within. The bottom of the crater is covered with sand.  Veevers is isolated in a vast, flat landscape with no other features in sight. Discovered in the mid-1970's and named by Yeates, A.N., Crowe, R.W.A. & Towner, R.R., in 1976, as The Veevers Crater in honor of Australian geologist Prof. John Veevers, for his work at mapping Western Australia.

In 1984, Dr. Carolyn and Eugene Shoemaker investigated meteorite craters and ancient impact structures throughout Australia. Their search recovered thirty-six small meteoritic fragments from the Veevers crater. Their finds totaled 298.1 grams, and included the largest found to date, 36.3g., now cleaned and coated it weighs 37.0 grams. The Veevers fragments have been described as single crystals of kamacite. Kamacite is a metallic iron with up to 7.5% nickel. Since the Shoemaker trip, more meteorite fragments have been found, bringing the total known weight to around 1 kg. The Veevers crater is naturally rich in iron-rich laterite, which makes recovery of small meteorite fragments hard. It is one of only two impact craters where group IIAB meteorites have been discovered. The other being the Sikhote-Alin craters in Eastern Siberia, Russia.

Would be an exceptional and rare addition to any new or existing collection.  This historically important specimen will come with a ELKK Meteorite Collection and Canagem Collection specimen cards.

This is a fabulous 16.4 gram Sericho Pallasite Main Group meteorite, it measures 31x21x19 mm.  In 2016, two brothers were searching for their camels and came across several large, dense stones west of the village of Habaswein and south of Sericho, Kenya.  Though recognized as meteorites in 2016, the masses had been known to camel-herders for decades. One village elder said that as a child, he and his brothers would play on top of the stones.  It is classified as an Iron Pallasite main group with low weathering and is 1 of only 68 approved meteorites classified as such, with a recovered weight of about 2.8 T.

This piece displays extremely well and is a nice size showing great features. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.
