This is a perfect rosette of metallic molybdenite, almost completely exposed in a glassy quartz matrix crystal from Moly Hill, Abitibi-Temiscamingue, Québec, Canada. The molybdenite rosette measures 12.5 mm across. 

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.  This specimen shows the typical hexagonal layered structure of the crystal.

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.

This is a nice 6.48 gram specimen of the Seymchan Iron meteorite, the fragment measures 22x15x13 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 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 an incredible specimen of the Zag meteorite that fell in Western Sahara in August 1998. This rare and highly collectable H3-6 chondrite (S3 W0/1) is characterized by its beautiful fusion crust and is 1 of only 82 approved meteorites classified as such. The total weight is registered at 175 Kilograms and this nice piece is 4.34 grams with dimensions of 20x13x12 mm.

From the Michael Farmer Collection : "This is a very nice piece of the stone meteorite called Zag. This meteorite arrived as a huge fireball and made explosions heard for hundreds of miles. Many pieces of this meteorite crashed to Earth in southern Morocco, August 4th or 5th 1998. Fossil hunters out in the desert saw the fall and later found it. This meteorite is classified as a chondrite, (H3-6) regolith breccia. This piece weighs 4.34 grams and is a very nice fragment with fusion crust.

Zag made headlines around the world as the second meteorite to contain liquid water. Purple salt crystals have been found by scientists in Zag and liquid water is in bubbles in some of these crystals! Zag has been on almost every newspaper and even on CNN."

This piece displays very well showing some fusion crust. Would make an amazing addition to any collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection and a Michael Farmer Meteorites Specimen card.

This is a great looking 2.278 kg (5 lbs) Meteor Crater Oxide (Canyon Diablo) individual specimen directly from Arizona, U.S.A.. Its dimensions are 9.9x9.4x8.5 cm (3.9x3.7x3.3 inches). 

This 2.278-kg Meteorite Oxide originates from the renowned Meteor Crater in Northern Arizona. Its natural oxidation process offers a unique, rugged texture and appearance, providing an authentic sample of extraterrestrial iron altered by Earth’s atmosphere over time. Ideal for collectors and researchers, this specimen exemplifies the scientific and geological significance of meteorite weathering.  This piece was obtained in 2005 from a retiring Meteor Crater employee.  It is highly magnetic and very heavy for its size.

Right now if you want to acquire something like this, the nice folks at the Crater will ask for $1.50 to $2.00 USD per gram.  Here you get it for substantially less in the best shape possible. Would make a beautiful addition to any collection or start one today.
