This combination of Serandite and Aegirine from Poudrette Quarry, Mont Saint-Hilaire (MSH), Quebec, is considered one of Canada's classic mineral associations. Renowned for its extraordinary mineral diversity, this quarry has produced some of the world's finest specimens of both minerals. Serandite forms beautiful salmon-pink to orange-pink prismatic crystals, while Aegirine grows as glossy black, often sharply terminated blades, that may occur individually or in radiating sprays. These minerals are often accompanied by white Albite or Analcime, producing beautiful specimens.
Serandite is the signature mineral of Mont Saint-Hilaire and is the most sought-after species coming from that locality. This beautiful crystal cluster would be a great addition to any new or existing collection.

Specimen Size: Miniature-Sized
Dimensions: 32x30x18 mm / 1.3x1.2x0.7 inches

This is an incredible green/yellow fluorapatite crystal from Cerro del Mercado (Iron Mountain) at Durango, Mexico. It is completely free of the matrix and has a relatively perfect termination. The specimen came from the Earl Calvert Collection.
At Cerro de Mercado numerous veins containing gemmy, lemon-yellow to greenish fluorapatite crystals cut through the hematite massif. These crystals have been collected for decades from the area's iron mines, but they have become much scarcer with recent mechanization of the mining operations.
The bright, lustrous apatite crystals form hexagonal shapes with off-center terminations. They are found in vugs, often associated with quartz and calcite. Most crystals are around an inch in length, though larger crystals up to about 4 inches long have been found.
Name: Fluorapatite Crystal

This is a great looking oriented individual Gao-Guenie H5 classified meteorite. It weighs 11.53 grams and measures 23x20x13 mm. It is classified as a stone chondrite H5. This H5 classified meteorite was observed falling at about 17:00 March 5, 1960 near the village of Gao in Burkina Faso (formerly Upper Volta), Africa. There is no total known weight recorded for this meteorite.
Thousands small stones have been found in the area by locals. When this meteorite entered the atmosphere it broke up into thousands of pieces. Most of these pieces just tumbled randomly, but one out of a hundred stabilized and presented the same side toward the direction of fall. As the rock on the front of the meteor melted it flowed backwards along the side and when the melted rock reached the back edge some of it rolled over the edge into the relative calm at the back of the meteor and formed a lip. The back side of the meteor can be smooth or rough depending upon how quickly it stabilized in flight. The quicker the stabilization the rougher the back surface. As the meteor slowed to terminal velocity the flow lines and rims froze in place. You can see the roll over rim on this piece.
Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem® Collection specimen card.

This piece displays extremely well with a high gloss finish and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a The Hupé Collection and a Canagem Collection specimen card.
At the War Eagle Mine near Creede, Colorado, argentiferous tetrahedrite is a silver-bearing copper-antimony sulfide mineral found in polymetallic vein deposits. Its presence underscores the mine’s polymetallic character and its potential interest for both mineral collectors and exploration geologists.
The War Eagle Mine is a notable but inactive gold mine in Gilpin County, Colorado, with a rich geological setting and historical ties to the region’s mining heritage. It is located in a remote, forested area and is not accessible to visitors.
This specimen is in very good condition. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

Origin: Mined in Creede Colorado
Heulandite is one of the most common and well known members of the Zeolite Group. It has a nice pearly luster and lovely colored hues. It forms wonderfully complex and quite unique crystals and is often associated with other rare and beautiful minerals.
Green heulandite is a naturally occurring and is prized for its vibrant green color, glassy luster and well-formed tabular crystals. Found primarily in the basalt cavities of the Deccan Traps in Maharashtra, its distinctive green hue is typically caused by microscopic inclusions of the mineral celadonite rather than the heulandite itself. It commonly occurs alongside minerals such as apophyllite and stilbite.

This is a stunning Henbury classified meteorite from the Michael Farmer Meteorites collection. It weighs 3.56 grams and measures 16x12x5mm. This Iron (IIIAB) Medium Octahedrite classified meteorite was found in the Northern Territory of Australia in 1931. So far approximately 2T of this material have been recovered. This piece displays extremely well. This Australian find is very well shaped and preserved. These pieces are becoming more difficult to acquire so this is a good time to get a fine specimen.
Henbury fell 8 miles southwest of the town of Henbury, Australia almost 10,000 years ago. RA Alderman investigated the site in May 1931 based upon Aborigine stories. He found 13 craters, the largest of which was 720 x 360 feet. Few meteorites were found in the largest three craters indicating an explosive impact. Some of the Henbury meteorites are shrapnel shaped indicating this explosive ending and some have smooth edges indicating abrasion by an atmospheric passage.
Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Will come with a Michael Farmer Meteorites and a Canagem specimen card.
