Meteorites

This is an incredible Korra Korrabes meteorite end cut of 15 grams, it measures 33x33x10 mm. This gorgeous classified meteorite is an H3 Chondrite and part of a 22 kg stone plus 11 smaller pieces totaling ~18 kg that were found November 1996 in a dry river bed by a farmer who was searching for Gibeon irons.

People searching with metal detectors recovered hundreds of additional buried, more weathered pieces within 50 m of the original material since 2000 November, bringing the total mass to ~120–130 kg. The largest specimen was used in a garden wall until August 2000.

This amazing piece was professionally prepared and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a great looking Northwest Africa 2949 basaltic eucrite classified meteorite end cut weighing 10.8 grams. Its dimensions are 33x30x9 mm. 

This basaltic achondrite eucrite classified meteorite was found in the Sahara Desert in 2005 and is 1 of 616 approved meteorites classified as such. The total weight of the 5 recovered pieces is recorded as a low 1365 grams.

This piece displays extremely well, it is a nice size with a beautiful crusted exterior, and shows multiple characteristics of the type of material, it exhibits excellent clasts within the matrix. The matrix is a fine grain containing shocked eucritic inclusions. Beautiful grey matrix with nice clear inclusions.   The three groups collectively known as HED meteorites (howardites, eucrites and diogenites) may come from asteroid 4 Vesta.

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

This is a superb slice of the famous Northwest Africa 2965 meteorite, it weigh 1.49 grams and measures 26x22x1. This is 1 of only 26 approved meteorites classified as EL-melt rock.

This North West Africa was first classified as an Enstatite EL6/7, then became an EL3 and finally ended up being classified an EL-Melt Rock meteorite; it was found along with the rest of the total mass of more than 100 Kilograms in the Algerian Desert in August 2005.  This is one of the oldest meteorites on our planet in terms of terrestrial age and has been referred to as a fossil meteorite. 

This Enstatite chondrite shock Level is minimal and weathering varies from 2 to 5. This piece displays extremely well and is a completely recrystallized enstatite chondrite with polygonal to irregular grain outlines. The grain size varies from 0.02 to 0.7 mm. Round, curved, blocky objects contain coarser-grained orthopyroxene than in the matrix. No relict chondrules were observed.

This hard to acquire piece displays very well with its diamond lap finish, it is a high quality specimen that would make an amazing addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with Canagem specimen card.

This is a nice .67 gram fragment of the Tatahouine meteorite which is classified as a stone achondrite, Diogenite (ADIO) Ca-poor.  This rare meteorite fell on June 27, 1931 at 0130 hours about 2 1/2 mi. NE of the village of Foum Tatahouine, Tunisia. 

This rare Diogenite broke into thousands of small fragments, most no larger than a gram. The large mass broke up near the earth's surface and as a result fusion crust is virtually absent, making this a difficult meteorite to recognize. If it had not been witnessed, it most likely would never have been found. Tatahouine is one of a few meteorites that is only available in small sizes, most are under 1 gram.

This piece is a very desirable type of material and a great specimen all around. The specimen is accompanied by two specimen cards, a Dean Bessey The Meteorite Shop and a Canagem® Collection card. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

This is a gorgeous end cut of the NWA 4441 Carbonaceous chondrites type 3.2 meteorite found in Sahara Desert in 2004. This excellent cut specimen has all the qualities you're looking for in a rare Carbonaceous specimen.

This specimen weighs in at 7.7 grams with dimensions of 28x22x7 mm.  The total known weight of this meteorite is a minuscule 124 grams.   

This piece displays extremely well and is a very desirable type. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Greg Hupé Collection and a Canagem Collection specimen card.

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 superb looking Spade meteorite part slice weighing 2.7 grams and measuring 19x15x3 mm. This H6 chondrite classified meteorite was found in 2000 and has a total weight of 8.86 Kg.

This single mass of 8.86 kg was found in a grass field by Mr. J. Talbert while farming. The classification and mineralogy performed by R. Jones, UNM and A. Rubin, UCLA, determined it to be an annealed impact melt rock. It has a shock stage of S2 and a moderate weathering grade of W2.

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