This is a superb looking Stony-iron or Mesosiderite Vaca Muerta (Dead Cow) classified meteorite weighing 40.52 grams. Its dimensions are 32x28x18 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.

Here we have for you a nice looking end cut of a Sahara Desert NWA unclassified meteorite weighing 82.84 grams. Its dimensions are 57x45x28mm. This never classified North West Africa stone was found in the Sahara desert around 2000.

It's a good quality cut NWA meteorite specimens showing interesting internal structure (L5?) and somewhat attractive with a mottled interior with chondrules and metallic flakes. Some weathering shows the meteorite's time spent aging in the desert. Displays nicely with a ground and rough polished without a mirror finish.

This is a beautiful sample of the famous iron meteorite Campo del Cielo (Heaven’s Field in Spanish) that was found in Chaco Province, Argentina, in 1576 by Spanish explorers. This is an outstanding specimen with many nice large regmaglypts and scoops – great “thumb prints” complete individual solid iron classified as IAB Silicated.  

This meteorite is classified as an Iron polycrystalline coarse octahedrite (IAB).  This piece weighs 11.7 Kg (25.8 Lbs) and measures approximately 19x15x15 cm (7.5x6x6 inches).

This piece displays extremely well and is a very desirable size.  It is a great example of this iron type meteorite.  Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.  Would make a beautiful addition to any collection.

These are individual Northwest Africa or NWA 4293 formerly known as NQ10.  An H6 chondrite found in the Sahara desert in 2005, it is one of 5854 approved meteorites classified as such. These meteorites are samples of 1 to 2 grams.  

This fascinating meteorite was mainly found as small individuals and the total weight of the 100's of pieces recovered is recorded as a low 25 kg. The meteorite has a shock stage of 4 and weathering grade of 2.  NWA 4293 is interesting in the way it looks as can be seen in the images.  Most pieces are free of caliche, have a smooth gray surface and are small complete individuals.  The unusual appearance is due to shock hardening and being sandblasted in the desert.

These micros are perfectly shaped to catch your attention and display a superb crust. You will receive one of the specimen in the picture.

Here we have for you a nice looking individual of a Sahara Desert NWA unclassified meteorite weighing 295.67 grams. Its dimensions are 91x47x60mm. This never classified North West Africa stone was found in the Sahara desert around 2000.

It's a good quality individual NWA meteorite specimen. 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 fantastic crusted 10.59 grams NWA (Northwest Africa) 869 L3-6 classified meteorite Individual found by Nomads in the Sahara Desert. The dimensions of the specimen are 22x15x13 mm.  This specimen comes from the Hupé Collection.

NWA 869 classified meteorites can still be interesting and this one is for sure perfectly shaped to catch your attention. It displays a superb crust on most of its surface.  Most 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).
