Unit price perHere we have for you a superb looking Dhofar 020 classified meteorite weighing 67 grams. Its dimensions are 57x37x32 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.

Unit price perHere we have for you a superb and fresh looking Stony-iron or Mesosiderite Vaca Muerta (Dead Cow) classified meteorite end cut weighing 10.42 grams. Its dimensions are 26x18x10 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 specimen is from the Michael Cottingham Meteorite Collection and is guaranteed to be authentic. This piece displays extremely well and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem® specimen card.

This is an 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. The meteorite weighs 3 grams with dimensions of 17x15x8 mm.
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.
This specimen comes with a Canagem specimen card. Would make a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

Unit price perHere we have a Toluca meteorite etched slice. This incredible specimen weighs 65.3 grams and measures 69x47x5 mm. Found in 1776, this meteorite has a TKW of 3 tons.
The Toluca meteorite is classified as an Iron IAB-sLL and was discovered in Xiquipilco, Mexico state, Mexico. The classification Iron, IAB-sLL means "An iron meteorite belonging to the low-Au, low-Ni subgroup (sLL) of the IAB complex". The IAB iron meteorites have complicated textures and chemical-mineralogical features that indicate a complex history for the parent body. These meteorites commonly contain abundant silicate inclusions embedded in the metal phase.
This specimen was etched to show its unique widmanstatten pattern.
Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Will come with a Canagem® specimen card.

Unit price perHere we have for you a superb end cut of the famous Vaca Muerta (Dead Cow) classified meteorite weighing 3.12 grams. Its dimensions are 20x19x5 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. This particular specimen is a cut of a eucrite nodule with none of the typical mesosiderite of Vaca Muerta.
This rare specimen displays extremely well and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with an ELKK Meteorites and a Canagem® specimen card.

Unit price perThis is a stunning etched end cut Canyon Diablo classified meteorite specimen weighing 21.7 grams. Its dimensions are 46x18x7 mm. 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.

Unit price perThe NWA 267 meteorite fragment offered here is in as found condition. It weighs 16.6 grams, with dimensions of 28x27x22mm. The meteorite will come with two specimen description cards including a signed "The Mark Bostick Collection" card.
This meteorite was once a pile of weathered unclassified meteorite fragments brought to the 2000 Denver show by a Moroccan fossil dealer. These fragments, 73.9 kg. worth, where purchased by Canadian meteorite dealer Dean Bessey, who was told the following on the meteorites: "A nomad found an area with a lot of unusual strange stones near the Morocco/Algeria border. He brought one to a fossil dealer and asked: "I hear that you will pay money for stones like this". After shaking his head in disbelief at a positive response, the nomad gathered up all his camels, wives and children and brought them into the desert to search over his personal strewn field." Or at least that is how the story goes.
Many thousands of stones, 73.9 kilograms, were recovered, most of these fragments under 20 grams. Then 356 grams and a thin section of the meteorite was donated to the Vernadaky Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry, part of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, where it was classified by M. Ivanova. This meteorite, an ordinary stone chondrite, H4 class has a Shock Rating of 2 and a Weathering Grade of 2-3 and the classification information was published in Meteoritical Bulletin 85.
While the stone did not get a heavy weathering grade, very few specimens show any crust. This meteorite is believed to have come from the Hebe class asteroids. I've included an informational photo of a NWA 267 Meteorite thin section which are used in earth geology, and in meteorites to identify the minerals in them. The photo shows a large imperfect elongated chondrule. Chondrules are unique features to meteorites. The chondrule shown is composed of mostly pyroxene and the bright colored minerals scattered throughout the thin section is mostly olivine.
One of the fun facts is that the NWA 267 was also the first meteorite ever minted onto a real legal tender coin. The National Bank of Liberia made 999 of these $10.00 Silver coins in 2004. The meteorite used in the coin, was supplied by Mark Bostick himself and his name and signature came on the certificate with the coin. The provided images of the coin shows a nomad on a camel on the obverse. A meteorite is falling through the star filled sky in the background. Reverse of coin has a seal of the Liberia Government and notes its value. We include 2 specimen cards but unfortunately the thin section and coin used in the ad are NOT included!
