This is a stunning Canyon Diablo classified meteorite specimen weighing 11.6 grams. Its dimensions are 34x18x4 mm. This Iron (IAB-MG) classified meteorite was found in Arizona in 1891. So far approximately 30 T of this material has 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.

The Riker collection box is approximately 85x110x23mm (3.3x4.3x.9 inch).  Would make a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a specimen card and a stand for the Riker box.

Here we have for you an incredible part slice specimen of the Northwest Africa (NWA) 2384 meteorite found in the Sahara Desert in 2004. This great collectible LL4 chondrite is characterized by abundant chondrules and nice colorful matrix. The total Mass is registered at a low 418 grams from a single stone, so this is to be considered a nice piece at 15.6 grams with dimensions of 45x36x3 mm.  The shock stage is registered at 3 and weathering grade is at 2.

This piece displays very well in a specimen Riker style mount display case; a stand will be included.. 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 Vaca Muerta (Dead Cow) classified meteorite weighing 84.4 grams. Its dimensions are 49x43x28 mm.

This classified meteorite was found in 1861 in the driest desert of the world called the Atacama, in Chile. Mesosiderites are formed on the surface of a parent body as a result of impacts with another body. The impact mixed broken fragments of surface eucrites with iron and olivine from deep within the body. Eucrites are believed to have come from the asteroid Vesta. Analysis has shown, however, that the Vaca Muerta eucrite inclusions are not consistent with other eucrites and possibly originated on a different parent body. Although most have a weathered exterior, they also have lots of metal inside and can be prepared and cut to show this.

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

At about 4.5 billion years old, the Nantan meteorite is as ancient as the Earth itself. They are a very interesting IAB-MG iron discovered in 1958, although thought to have fallen in 1516.  There is an estimated 9.5 T of this amazing space voyageur.

This is a gorgeous part slice of the Dhofar 1085 meteorite.  This material was found in 2003. This specimen weighs 0.040 gram and is housed in a membrane box for display. The known total weight is set at a minuscule 197 grams. This nice specimen of anorthositic (anorth) Lunar is 1 of only 78 approved meteorites classified as such.

The lunaites of this group comprised of Dho 908 and Dho 911 are from a very old meteorite fall, which can be recognized at the outer realm and the non existing melting crust. In the cut it shows however, that this lunaite is very fresh inside, maybe a result of the very high density of the material. It consists of a homogenous impact-melting glass in which are included a multitude of optically and scientifically very interesting clasts- brownish impact-melting, partially with very big white anorthite clasts, dark shock veins, as well as reddish and dark clasts of rare lunar stones (troctolites and norites)

This piece displays extremely well and is a very desirable type. This quality piece would make a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a specimen card and a signed Certificate of Authenticity.

Here we have for you a superb looking Dhofar 020 classified meteorite weighing 103.75 grams. Its dimensions are 67x49x32 mm.  Found 10 March 2000 in Dhofar, Oman, in the Arabian Peninsula this H4/5 classified chondrite has a TKW of 256 Kg with a shock stage of S4 and weathering grade of W3 by the Russian Academy of Sciences, USSR.

The following is an excerpt from Mark Bostick's review of this meteorite:  "Dhofar 020 is a ordinary stone chondrite meteorite. The meteorite is high in free metal and therefore falls in the H class. S4 tells it is highly shocked. Slices of the meteorite, show veins of the cosmic impact created mineral Ringwoodite, although fractures in the stone tend to hide this some. It almost appears to me to have splinted upon impact. The meteorite falls in 4-5 petrology class, a reference to how metamorphed the meteorite is from its original state. This is judged by studying a thin section of the meteorite, most visually at the chondrules, a feature unique to stone meteorite. In a thin section under polarized light, pyroxene chondrules seem more common then their olivine pair. Still some regions in the meteorite show scattered patches of bright olivine inclusions. These are fairly rare, at least on my thin section, and most of the meteorite's olivine and pyroxene, some of the easier things to see in a thin section, appear to have went through a metamorphism, and have "melted" into the matrix and are at times undistinguishable."

This piece displays extremely well showing a beautiful crust, superb shape and good size. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.
