Introducing our stunning Impactite Melt Rock from the Babaudus Impactite site in France. This rare and unique piece weighs 21.97 grams and measures 54x40x7 mm.  It is a must-have for any collector or enthusiast.

This Babaudus Type Impact Melt Rock was formed by the intense heat and pressure of a meteorite impact.  The Rochechouart Structure, where it was found, is known for producing some of the world's most beautiful and intriguing impactites.

This Impact Melt Rock is a beautiful example of the unique textures and patterns that can be found in impactites.  It displays very well and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a must have 22.12 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 53x48x7 mm. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

An olivine volcanic bomb is a type of volcanic rock that contains olivine crystals and has been ejected during a volcanic eruption. Olivine is a mineral that is commonly found in the Earth's mantle and is one of the first minerals to crystallize as magma cools.

Volcanic bombs are large clots of lava that are ejected from a volcano during an explosive eruption. They can vary in size, and their shapes are often streamlined due to their molten nature as they are thrown through the air. When these volcanic bombs contain olivine crystals, they are referred to as olivine volcanic bombs.

This piece has been cut to showcase the beautiful green olivine crystals.  It would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a must have 17 gram Impact Melt Rock from the Stac Fada Member Impact Structure, NW Scotland. It measures 65x38x4 mm.  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.

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 beautiful Impact melt rock comes from the Stac Fada impact structure in Scotland. The structure has an estimated age of about 1.2Ga (1,200 Ma). The Stac Fada Member of the Precambrian Stoer Group in Scotland has previously been described as volcanic in origin. However, shocked quartz and biotite provide evidence for high-pressure shock metamorphism, while chromium isotope values and elevated abundances of platinum group metals and siderophile elements indicate addition of meteoritic material. Thus, the unit is reinterpreted as having an impact origin.

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

Tanzanite is renowned for its intense blue and violet colors, but can also be golden, green, lilac and peacock (blue and green). The sole source of tanzanite is the Merelani Hills in northern Tanzania. Discovered in the 1960s, tanzanite is considered rarer than diamonds due to its single-source origin. The mines in Tanzania are exhaustible, adding to the gemstone's allure.

With a hardness of 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, tanzanite is relatively soft compared to some other gemstones. As a result, it requires gentle care to prevent scratches or damage.

Tanzanite is believed to aide with spiritual awareness, insight, and communication. Some attribute it with calming energies and the ability to enhance psychic abilities.

This is an outstanding specimen Impact Melt Glass, or "Flädle" glass, from the Lake Mien crater, 12 km (7.5 mi) southwest of the town of Tingsryd, Sweden.   It weighs 39.8 grams and measures 54x49x20 mm.  Although not a meteorite, impactites are directly linked to them and their impacts.

Impactite is a slag-like glassy object found on the surface of the earth, formed from rock melted by the impact of a meteorite. The term 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 eroded crater is marked by a 5.5-km (3.4-mi) diameter circular lake named Lake Mien. The original crater rim is estimated to have been about 9 km in diameter before erosion. Its age is estimated to be 121.0 ± 2.3 million years (Early Cretaceous).  This Suevitic breccia with clastic matrix and melt inclusions (black) and crystalline rock clasts (gray to white) is amazingly light considering its mass.   It has a unique hollow sound when you tap it.

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

This is a superb looking Spade meteorite part slice weighing 2.1 grams and measuring 25x12x2 mm. This H6 chondrite classified meteorite was found in 2000 and has a total weight of 8.86 Kg.

This single mass of 8.86 kg was found in a grass field by Mr. J. Talbert while farming. The classification and mineralogy performed by R. Jones, UNM and A. Rubin, UCLA, determined it to be an annealed impact melt rock. It has a shock stage of S2 and a moderate weathering grade of W2.

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