Tsarev Meteorite | 38.5 Grams | Tumbled Individual | L5 Chondrite | Fell Dec 1922 | Russia
Tsarev Meteorite | 38.5 Grams | Tumbled Individual | L5 Chondrite | Fell Dec 1922 | Russia
This is a superb tumbled individual Tsarev meteorite weighing 38.5 grams. Its dimensions are 45x27x25 mm. Twenty-eight specimens of this L5 classified meteorite were found in fields. The largest mass weighs 284 kg, the smallest 761 gr with a total weight of 1.23 Tons. The greatest distance between the find sites was 6.0 km.
In 1968, amidst a global surge in conflicts, a remarkable discovery was made in a small village in Volgograd Oblast. This region, known as the primary site of the Battle of Stalingrad—one of the largest and bloodiest battles in history—yielded an extraordinary find in the quiet fields near the rural village of Tsarev.
The Tsarev meteorite, named after the Russian word for czar, is a stone meteorite responsible for one of the largest meteorite showers in Russian history. This meteorite shower occurred on December 6, 1922, but the stones were not discovered until 1968 and only recognized in 1979. The Tsarev meteorite's mineral composition matches that of ordinary chondrites, including olivine, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, maskelynite, calcium phosphates, nickel-iron, troilite, chromite, ilmenite, and rutile.
Academic analysis of the Tsarev meteorite reveals significant features: large grains of nickel-iron, light grey areas with well-preserved chondritic texture, and dark areas containing a matrix with olivine grains and remnants of chondrules.
This specimen would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Will come with a Canagem specimen card.

Olivine Volcanic Bomb | Lava Coated Crystal | 293.8 gr | Mt Shadwell, Australia
Olivine Volcanic Bomb | Lava Coated Crystal | 293.8 gr | Mt Shadwell, Australia
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.

Vaca Muerta Meteorite | 10.42 Grams | End Cut | Mesosiderite A1 | Famous | Chile
Vaca Muerta Meteorite | 10.42 Grams | End Cut | Mesosiderite A1 | Famous | Chile
Here we have for you a superb and fresh looking Stony-iron or Mesosiderite Vaca Muerta (Dead Cow) classified meteorite end cut weighing 10.42 grams. Its dimensions are 26x18x10 mm.
This classified meteorite was found in 1861 in the driest desert of the world called the Atacama, in Chile. Mesosiderites are formed on the surface of a parent body as a result of impacts with another body. The impact mixed broken fragments of surface eucrites with iron and olivine from deep within the body. Eucrites are believed to have come from the asteroid Vesta. Analysis has shown, however, that the Vaca Muerta eucrite inclusions are not consistent with other eucrites and possibly originated on a different parent body. Although most have a weathered exterior, they also have lots of metal inside and can be prepared and cut to show this.
This specimen is from the Michael Cottingham Meteorite Collection and is guaranteed to be authentic. This piece displays extremely well and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem® specimen card.
