It's a good quality NWA meteorite individual fragment. 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 lovely pink Stilbite specimen from Parsboro, Cape d'Or, Nova Scotia, Canada. It was collected in 2002 and is a miniature size group of well terminated crystals with nice sharp edges. 

Stilbite is a zeolite mineral appreciated for its delicate crystal formations and pastel hues, ranging from colorless to white, yellow, pink, and peach.  It forms distinctive tabular crystals with a bowtie or butterfly shape and exhibits a vitreous to pearly luster. Commonly found in cavities in volcanic rocks, stilbite is often associated with other zeolite minerals. 

Stilbite is believed to have soothing and spiritually uplifting qualities, often associated with promoting emotional healing, inner peace, and mental clarity. Many consider it helpful for enhancing spiritual connection, deepening meditation, and supporting dream recall or lucid dreaming. Often linked to the heart chakra, it is thought to encourage love, compassion, and the release of emotional wounds. Stilbite may assist in navigating transitions, amplifying the energy of other crystals, and fostering a calming environment by shifting negative energy into positive vibrations.

Peruvian pyrite is famous worldwide for its well-formed, highly lustrous crystals. The country is one of the top sources for high-quality pyrite specimens, particularly from the Huanzala Mine in the Áncash Region and the Quiruvilca Mine in La Libertad. These locations produce stunning pyritohedral crystals, often found in association with quartz, sphalerite, and galena.

The term “pyritohedral” refers to a specific crystal habit that pyrite (and occasionally other minerals) can form. In this structure, the crystal takes on a polyhedral shape with 12 faces. However, unlike a perfectly symmetrical shape with identical pentagonal faces, natural pyritohedral crystals often exhibit slight irregularities or distortions in their faces.

Pyrite is known as a stone of protection, abundance, and confidence.  It is believed to shield against negative energy and promote mental clarity and willpower. 

This top Peruvian specimen is in very good condition.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

This is a fantastic Impactite Fallback Breccia from Germany weighing 66 grams and measuring 74x53x9mm. Although not a meteorite, impactites and shatter cones are directly linked to them and their impacts. The Steinheim Basin today exhibits a distinct morphological depression that is ∼110 m deep and ∼3.5 km in diameter; the height of the central uplift totals to more than 140 m. The original size of the pristine crater is estimated to be ∼3.8 km with an original depth of ∼205 m.

As this drainless morphological depression was filled by lake sediments shortly after the impact, the primary crater morphology is widely preserved. The crater rim is formed by steeply inclined and intensely brecciated Upper Jurassic limestone blocks that also contain numerous shattered chert nodules, as well as some loose blocks of the host limestone. An impact breccia, referred to as the so-called ”Primäre Beckenbrekzie” (“primary basin breccia”) and interpreted as a “fallback breccia”, is known from many drillings in the Steinheim Basin.

Mainly composed of Middle to Upper Jurassic limestones, marls, mudstones, and sandstones, the impact breccia inside the morphological depression of the Steinheim Basin is overlain by lake sediments and is obviously preserved in its original thickness and position.   This piece displays very well and is a very nice size showing multiple characteristics of its origin. Would make a beautiful addition to any collection.

These are Molybdenite crystals in host from Moly Hill, Québec, Canada. The largest of the crystals is 12x10 mm (0.5x0.4 inches).  Molybdenite is commonly found as foliated masses meaning the mineral forms folia or layers, like the mineral mica. It is metallic gray, has a greasy feel, and is very soft at only 1 on Mohs' hardness scale. Its softness, metallic luster and gray color led scientists to mistakenly believe it was a lead mineral. 

Some believe molybdenite is linked to intuition, transformation, and problem-solving, helping with mental clarity and adaptability. It is sometimes associated with the third eye chakra, thought to enhance insight and creative thinking.

Creedite is a rare mineral that is best known for its radiating crystal clusters, which can appear in transparent to translucent orange, purple, white, or colorless hues.  It was first discovered in Creede, Colorado, USA, which is how it got its name. Today, some of the best specimens come from Mexico (notably in Chihuahua), Kazakhstan, and Bolivia. In Mexico, creedite is often found as vibrant orange clusters, making it a favorite among collectors.

Creedite is thought to support spiritual growth, intuition, and clarity. Some believe it stimulates the third eye and crown chakras, aiding meditation and insight. Its bright, radiating form is often seen as a symbol of light and transformation.

This is a very unusual, sculptural cluster of Creedite.  It is secured to a base in order to display and protect the crystal, and is mesmerizing in person.  Would be a great addition to any new or existing collection.

This mineral combination is from a classic locality, the Newfoundland Zinc Mine, which has been closed for many years. This mine was a high grade zinc mine with very little  contaminants in the ore which made it easier to mill and produced good concentrate.  This site is known for beautiful mineral specimens, particularly sphalerite crystals often associated dolomite.

The sphalerite from this region typically appears as dark brown to black, resinous crystals, sometimes with red or orange undertones due to iron content. These crystals often serve as a striking backdrop for the light-colored dolomite, which forms as rhombohedral or curved aggregates on top. The contrasting colors and textures make specimens from Daniel’s Harbor highly collectible.

Very nice showy material in excellent condition and a collectors dream specimen.

This is a must have 52 gram Impact Breccia also referred to as Suevite coming from the famous Rochechouart impact structure in South Western France, near the village of Chassenon.  Although not a meteorite, impactites are directly linked to them and their impacts and are probably going to be one of the rarest collection items you'll ever own. Impactite is a slag-like glassy object found on the surface of the earth, formed from rock melted by the impact of a meteorite.

Named after the town of Rochechouart, the Rochechouart impact structure is located on the western margin of the French Massif Central near the city of Limoges, approximately 350 km (220 mi) south of Paris.  Rochechouart (population about 3800) is built with rocks created or modified by the impact (impactites). Chassenon, a third of the size of Rochechouart, is also built of impactites. Impactite was used 2000 years ago for building Chassenon's monumental Roman baths of Cassinomagus.

The very fine materials (impactoclastites) are preserved forming a very fine layered horizontal deposits on top of the melt rich suevite (breccia with a debris matrix and both rock debris and melt fragments as clasts) near Chassenon.

The term impactite encompasses shock-metamorphosed target rocks, melts or suevites and mixtures of the two, as well as sedimentary rocks with significant impact-derived components and shocked mineral grains, tektites, anomalous geochemical signatures, etc. This impactite was formed 186 million years ago.   This deformed rock fragments and partly molten are imbedded in a melt matrix showing typical flow structures from former melt.

This gorgeous slice displays very well with a mass of 76x46x16 mm. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.
