Meteorites

This is a nice 1.75 gram Seymchan Iron meteorite part slice measuring 21x11x5 mm. The meteorite was found in 1967 in a brook-bed flowing into the river of Hekandue, a left tributary of the river of Jasachnaja of the Magadan district, USSR. It is classified as an Iron Pallasite main group and is 1 of only 48 approved meteorites classified as such, with a recovered weight of about 323 Kg.

This piece was nicely prepared, it is very stable and will remain like this for years to come with minimal care. This piece displays extremely well and is a desirable 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 fantastic crusted 4.3 grams NWA (Northwest Africa) 869L3-6 classified meteorite Individual found by Nomads in the Sahara Desert. The dimensions of the specimen are 18x14x14 mm.

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).

Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a great fragment of the NWA 1459  meteorite which is classified as a stone achondrite, Diogenite-olivine. It weighs 0.044 grams. This rare meteorite was found in April of 2002, and called by the Hupe the world's rarest classification as an Olivine Diogenite. 

Mr Hupe said at the time:  "This meteorite featured in the October 2002 issue of Meteorite! Magazine represents the first non-Antarctic meteorite to fall into this exclusive group. A total known weight of 49 grams is officially recorded for this find. Being millions of times rarer than diamond, extreme patience was exercised for the cutting operation. About two and a half grams was lost during the first cut and polishing because we did not possess knowledge of its extreme rarity at that time. Another one and a half grams was provided to four contest winners and a web site promoter. Trying to preserve a main mass of 30 plus grams will leave less than two grams available for private purchase unless a contest winner is willing to part with some of their material. This specimen running on eBay may be your only opportunity to add the world's rarest class to your type specimen collection. Remember, there is no other type of meteorite available in the world that can come close to the rarity represented by this specimen not even a Chassignite, an Angrite or even a Lodranite."

This piece is a very desirable type of material and a great specimen all around. The specimen comes in a display box and is accompanied by a Hupe Collection and a Canagem® Collection card. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.
