Pyromorphite (lead chloro-phosphate) was a common mineral of the oxidized zone of the Broken Hill orebody, and exceptional specimens of various crystal forms and colors were found. Some examples were yellow and some brown, while others were green. Their crystal habits varied from almost needle-like to thick barrels. This example illustrates one of those forms – barrel-shaped, six-sided, clove-brown crystals.

This hard to acquire specimen is in good condition.  A rare and really beautiful specimen. Would be a great addition to any new or existing collection.

This is a fine dark green Epidote crystal from the tribal region bordering Afghanistan and Pakistan. This green crystal has luster and translucence. Comes in a protective specimen box.

Fine epidote specimens from the Pakistan-Afghanistan border region, particularly Gilgit-Baltistan (Shigar/Tormiq Valley) and Balochistan (Kharan/Zhob), are world-renowned for their intense green to dark brown color, high luster, and sharp crystal structure. These alpine-cleft specimens, often associated with white quartz, feature fan-like aggregates, bow-tie shapes, and excellent aesthetic, gemmy terminations.

This is a fantastic crusted 3.81 grams NWA (Northwest Africa) 869 L3-6 classified meteorite Individual found by Nomads in the Sahara Desert. The dimensions of the specimen are 14x14x10 mm.

NWA 869 classified meteorites can still be interesting and this one is for sure perfectly shaped to catch your attention. It displays a superb crust on most of its surface.  Most samples are individual meteorites but some fragments (mostly >1 kg) also occur. In most cases the fusion crust has been polished or ablated by wind erosion. Many samples are more severely affected and show faces with deep wind erosion features. Fracture faces, formed by ground collision, show a typical gray-green color and sometimes visible brecciation (light and/or dark clasts).

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

This is a must have 27.4 gram Impact Melt Rock from the Stac Fada Member Impact Structure, NW Scotland. It measures 66x37x5 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.
