This is a stunning Canyon Diablo classified meteorite specimen weighing 1.68 grams. Its dimensions are 12x6x6 mm. This Iron (IAB-MG) classified meteorite was found in Arizona in 1891. So far approximately 30 T of this material have been recovered.

The crater it formed is world famous and is known as Meteor Crater. It is an Arizona Meteorite and one that is a must have for any collection. The Canyon Diablo has been closed to hunting for many years so these pieces are becoming more difficult to acquire and this is a good time to get a fine specimen.

Chrome diopside is a vibrant green variety of diopside, its deep green color comes from the presence of chromium, which gives it a hue similar to emerald or tsavorite garnet. It often forms as transparent to translucent crystals with a glassy luster.

Chrome diopside is believed to promote emotional healing, compassion, and connection to nature. Some consider it a stone that supports personal growth and creativity, while also helping to release stress and negative emotions.

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 1.22 grams with dimensions of 16x10x5 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 in 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 Jensen Meteorites and a Canagem Collection Specimen card.

This is a rare and fantastic 3.9 gram Libyan Desert Glass from Kuffra, Libya, with dimensions of 29x18x8 mm.  Although its exact origin is still debated, the leading theory suggests it was formed by a high-energy event, such as a meteoric impact or airburst, that melted the desert sand directly where it lay, without being ejected into the atmosphere and re-entering. This results in different physical characteristics compared to tektites.

Libyan Desert Glass is found specifically in the Great Sand Sea of the Eastern Sahara, within a more localized area spanning parts of western Egypt and eastern Libya.  Characterized by its yellow to greenish-yellow color, it lacks the aerodynamic shapes of tektites and often appears as irregularly shaped pieces. It is almost pure silica (around 98%) with very few impurities. Throughout history, it has been regarded as a mystical and powerful material, sometimes used in talismans and amulets.

This piece displays extremely well and is a quality translucent specimen. It has an aesthetic shape with a beautiful wind eroded body from the years spent in the Desert. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a great looking part slice of the Ashmore Olivine-Bronzite H5 Chondrite classified meteorite.  The part slice weighs 0.4 grams.

This is a fantastic crystallized pyrite core sample.   The specimen is rounded with brassy pyrite crystals.  A pyrite mine core sample is a cylindrical piece of rock, often several inches in diameter, extracted from the earth by a drilling rig to explore for pyrite deposits. These samples are used to physically examine the rock's geology, identify different mineral types like pyrite, and measure their abundance and distribution. Core samples are critical for determining the economic viability of a mine and are analyzed using methods such as visual inspection, microscopic examination, and chemical techniques.

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

This is a great 17.7 gram KT-boundary clay from Zealand, Denmark, a UNESCO World Heritage site.  What makes Stevns Klint a UNESCO site inscribed in 2014 is the visible layer of fish clay and exceptional fossil record at the K-T boundary (Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary) along the cliff.  The KT-boundary clay at Stevns Klint is both impactite and a deposit containing fossils. It is considered impactite because the layer is composed of debris from the Chicxulub meteorite impact, including the iridium-rich "fish clay," which is evidence of the extraterrestrial event. It is also rich in fossils because the clay and surrounding rock strata contain evidence of the mass extinction and the recovery of marine life that followed.  

Stevns Klint, known as the Cliffs of Stevns in English, is a white chalk cliff located some 6 km (3.7 mi) southeast of Store Heddinge on the Danish island of Zealand. Stretching 17 km (11 mi) along the coast, it is of geological importance as one of the best exposed Cretaceous-Tertiary (K/T) boundaries in the world. Subject to frequent erosion, the cliff rises to a height of up to 40 m (130 ft).

Stevns Klint holds exceptional evidence of the Chicxulub meteorite impact that triggered the fifth mass extinction around 66 million years ago. This catastrophic event wiped out the dinosaurs and nearly 50% of all life on Earth, that paved the way of life as we know it today.

Most offerings are of macro size specimen so this is a rarely seen large example coming from the world renown Mr Christian Anger of Austria. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Austromet  and a Canagem Collection specimen card.
