Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz, which is a mineral composed of silicon and oxygen. It is one of the most popular gemstones due to its beautiful color.  Amethyst ranges in color from light purple to deep violet. The color is caused by impurities of iron within the quartz crystal.  Amethyst can be found in various locations around the world, including Brazil, Uruguay, Russia, Zambia, and the United States.

Amethyst is believed to enhance spiritual awareness, ward off negative energies, promote balance and relaxation, and improve intuitive and psychic abilities. Amethyst is also thought to enhance mental clarity and focus.

This is a superb part slice of the Northwest Africa 3152 meteorite, weighing 2.7 grams and measuring 25x19x3 mm.  This is a very rare type 7 Eucrite meteorites classified as a HED achondrite Eucrite.

This beautiful 2,7 gram crusted part slice of NWA 3152 is a very rare highly metamorphosed (type 7) basaltic Eucrite achondrite found in Northwest Africa 2005. The internal appearance of this meteorite was somewhat of a surprise when we first cut it because of the very striking and unusual breccia. There are only a few examples of type 7 Eucrites in existence making this meteorite found as single stone an admirable find. A Total known Weight (TKW) of 1,496 grams is officially recorded for this scarce meteorite.

This is a very interesting class of achondrite.  This meteorite takes a great polish and displays very handsomely.  Both sides are polished so there are no signs of saw marks ruining the appearance of an otherwise highly collectable specimen.  The last step in preparing each piece was to dry it using pure ethyl alcohol and a heat lamp, creating a very stable piece that resists oxidation and that will stand the test-of-time.

This hard to acquire piece displays very well with its diamond lap finish, it is a high quality specimen that would make an amazing addition to any new or existing collection. Comes in a large gem box with a Canagem and a Hupé Collection specimen card.

This is a superb part slice of the rare Northwest Africa 2126 meteorite, weighing 3.2 grams and measuring 20x18x4 mm.  This is a meteorite classified as an HED achondrite Eucrite.

The NWA 2126 is a rare Polymict Eucrite Achondrite found in 2004.  When this meteorite was cut it looked very much like a Howardite.  NAU, a NomCom approved facility, classified it as a Polymict Eucrite.  This is a very interesting and rare class of achondrite. This meteorite takes a great polish and displays very handsomely.  A total known weight of 2,227 grams is officially recorded for this very fascinating find.  Both sides are polished so there are no signs of saw marks ruining the appearance of an otherwise highly collectable specimen.  The last step in preparing each piece was to dry it using pure ethyl alcohol and a heat lamp, creating a very stable piece that resists oxidation.

This is a nice looking 3 piece lot of individual fragments of a Sahara Desert NWA unclassified meteorite. The lot weighs 16.78 grams and the pieces measure 30x16x9, 21x20x9 and 17x17x13 mm. This never classified Northwest Africa stone was found in the Sahara desert around 2000.

These are good quality NWA meteorite individual fragments. 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 superb looking fragment of a Sahara Desert NWA 515 classified meteorite weighing 2.8 grams. Its dimensions are 20x13x9 mm. This is a NWA 515 meteorite fragment in as found condition. 

This meteorite was found by Berber nomads in the deserts of Africa. Hundreds of small stones, more then 20 kilograms in total, was purchased November 8th, 2000 in M'Hamid, Morocco, Africa by a group of meteorite dealers and collectors. 247 grams was donated to UCLA were it was classified by A. Rubin as an L6 Chondrite with a shock rating of 2 and a weathering grade of 3 (25% olivine). Cut pieces of this meteorite show a nice light matrix with golden hues.

Thin sections (2nd photo) show nice chondrules ranging in size from less then 1mm to 3mm.  Thin sections are used in earth geology, and in meteorites to identify the minerals in them. Stone meteorites are made of mostly of olivine and pyroxene. The pyroxene is typically greyish or yellowish and the bright colored minerals scattered throughout the photo are mostly olivine.

This piece displays extremely well and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a The Mark Bostick Collection and a Canagem Collection specimen card.
