Meteorites

Here we have for you a nice looking individual fragment of a Sahara Desert NWA unclassified meteorite weighing 86.5 grams. Its dimensions are 73x43x34 mm. This never classified North West Africa stone was found in the Sahara desert around 2000.

It's a good quality individual fragment 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.

Here we have for you a nice looking end cut of a Sahara Desert NWA unclassified meteorite weighing 44 grams. Its dimensions are 61x44x12mm. This never classified Northwest Africa stone was found in the Sahara Desert around 2000.

It's a good quality cut NWA meteorite specimen showing interesting internal structure (L5?) and attractive mottled interior with chondrules and metallic flakes. 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 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.

Name: Tagish Lake
Date - Fall:  18 January 2000 at 08:43 pst 
Class:  Carbonaceous chondrite (C2, ungrouped)
Weight:  Fragment 20 mg
Origin: Tagish Lake, British Columbia , Canada

This is a nice fragment of the Tagish Lake meteorite. On 18 January 2000 at 08:43 local time a huge fireball followed by loud detonations was widely observed over the Yukon Territory and northern British Columbia. An individual, Jim Brook, recovered several dozen meteorites totaling ~1 kg on the ice of Taku Arm, Tagish Lake, on January 25 and 26. The total mass collected was between 5 and 10 kg most of which is in permanent institutional storage.

Very little of this material is available and what is available is in very small fragments. This is a nice piece that weighs 20 milligrams.  Based on mineralogy, isotopic compositions, and bulk chemical compositions, Tagish Lake appears to be intermediate between CM and CI chondrites. It has significantly less amino acids than expected and it may be a very primitive carbonaceous chondrite, class C2 ungr. 

Don't miss your chance to add this rarely offered location to your collection. Specimen is accompanied by a collection card from the Meteor Passion Meteorite Collection, a Canagem Meteorite Collection specimen card and is housed in a membrane case.

This is a superb individual Tsarev meteorite weighing 35.4 grams. Its dimensions are 48x24x19 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.

These are fragments of the Abee meteorite (MB 8) that fell in Alberta, Canada at 11:05 p.m. on June 9th 1952.  It took five days to find it in a wheat field belonging to Mr Harry Buryn.  It is located in the community of Abee, Alberta, Canada in Thorhild County, along the Canadian National Railway and Highway 63, 16 km north of Thorhild and 49 km from Boyle.

This rare and highly collectable EH4 Enstatite chondrite is 1 of only 21 approved meteorites classified as such, 1 of 3 being an observed fall and only 1 of 5 not found in Antarctica. The total Mass is registered at 107 Kilograms in one stone recovered from a 6 ft (1.8 m) deep crater.  This is a great opportunity to acquire fragments that were used for testing in laboratory weighing 508 milligrams.

This hard to acquire rare specimen would make an amazing addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Dr. Martin Horejsi Collection of Meteorites and a Canagem Collection specimen cards and is displayed and protected in a pill case.
