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 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.

This is a fabulous 11.3 gram Sericho Pallasite Main Group meteorite, it measures 22x22x17 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 is a stunning Canyon Diablo classified meteorite specimen weighing 40.5 grams. Its dimensions are 48x21x15mm. 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.

Would make a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a specimen card.
