Meteorites

This is a superb Nantan meteorite individual specimen, directly from Guangxi, China. Its dimensions are 56x42x15 mm and it weighs 29.8 grams.

The Nantan meteorites are a must for all collectors, more so that it is now very difficult to find worthy specimen. They are a very interesting IAB-MG iron discovered in 1958 and there is an estimated 9.5 T of this material. This is 1 of 88 approved meteorites classified as Iron, IAB-MG.

Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a rare and great looking Richland meteorite part slice weighing 6.2 grams. Its dimensions are 18x11x6 mm. This IIAB classified Iron meteorite was first found near Fredericksburg., Texas USA in 2000.  Total weight of this find is set at 50.6 Kg.

A 47 kg iron meteorite was reportedly found near Fredericksburg, Texas. Chemical analysis showed that it is indistinguishable from Richland, a 13.6 kg IIAB iron that was found ~300 km away. It is likely that these meteorites are paired and that one (or both) masses were transported by humans from their original find locations. Henceforth, the name Fredericksburg shall be an unofficial synonym for Richland. The new mass may be referred to as "Richland (Fredericksburg)." A total of 213 g is on deposit at UCLA.

This rare specimen would be an amazing addition to any new or existing collection.  Will come with a Canagem® specimen card plus two original meteorite labels.

This is a superb looking slice of the Shişr or Shi 010 meteorite, weighing 7.45 grams. Its dimensions are  34x26x3 mm. Originaly classified as an L4/6, this now L5 classified meteorite was part of the 16 stones found in the Shişr Desert of Oman by Russian meteorite hunters in 2001 with a total mass of 17.6 Kg. The shock stage of 3 and weathering grade of 3 is recorded for these pieces. 

This piece shows a nice polished face and is a desirable size perfect to show in class or at a science show.  This specimen would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.  Will come with a BA-Meteorites.de.vu (Dr. Bernhard Brinker, Mineralogist and Martin Altmann-IMCA #3825) and a Canagem specimen card.

This is a nice looking individual fragment of a Sahara Desert NWA unclassified meteorite. It weighs 142.7 grams and measures 73x56x32 mm. This never classified Northwest Africa stone was found in the Sahara desert around 2000.

It's a good quality NWA meteorite individual fragment. 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 superb looking Stony-iron or Mesosiderite classified Northwest Africa NWA 2945 classified meteorite; this amazing specimen is a part slice weighing 2 grams with dimensions of 16x12x4 mm.

The Metbul for NWA 2945 states that only one piece weighing 224 grams was recovered in 2005 from a small strewn field in Algeria. The classification of the NWA 2945 is a Mesosiderite with low shock rating of 2, and a degree of weathering also of 2 and most likely paired with the NWA 2924.

This slice displays extremely well and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with both a Canagem Collection and a BA-Meteorites.de.vu specimen card.

This is a fantastic 3.87 gram part slice NWA (Northwest Africa) 869 L3-6 classified meteorite. The dimensions of the specimen are 15x9x9 mm.  This part slice displays a superb crust on one surface and and multiple cut faces that have been professionally prepared to show all the chondrules typical of the best 869s.  

Most NWA 869 samples are individual meteorites but some fragments (mostly >1 kg) also occur. In most cases the fusion crust has been polished or ablated by wind erosion. Many samples are more severely affected and show faces with deep wind erosion features. Fracture faces, formed by ground collision, show a typical gray-green color and sometimes visible brecciation (light and/or dark clasts). 

This premium quality specimen shows the best of 869 you can get today and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a signed Mark Bostick Collection and a Canagem Collection specimen card.

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.

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.
