This is a rare and fantastic 18 gram Libyan Desert Glass from Kuffra, Libya, with dimensions of 44x25x19 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.

Here we have for you a nice looking individual cut fragment of a Sahara Desert NWA unclassified meteorite weighing 184.3 grams. Its dimensions are 89x60x31mm. This never classified North West Africa stone was found in the Sahara desert around 2000.

It's a good quality individual fragment NWA meteorite specimen. 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 great looking Gao-Guenie H5 classified meteorite end cut weighing 3.04 grams. Its dimensions are 19x17x5 mm and it has a crusted edge. 

This H5 classified meteorite was observed falling at about 17:00 March 5, 1960 near the village of Gao in Africa. There is no total known weight recorded for this meteorite.

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

Stilbite is a zeolite mineral appreciated for its delicate crystal formations and pastel hues, ranging from colorless to white, yellow, pink, and peach.  It forms distinctive tabular crystals with a bowtie or butterfly shape and exhibits a vitreous to pearly luster. Commonly found in cavities in volcanic rocks, stilbite is often associated with other zeolite minerals. 

Stilbite is believed to have calming energy, supporting spiritual growth and emotional healing.

It's a very good quality cut NWA meteorite specimens showing excellent internal structure (L5?) and are very attractive with light grey mottled interior with chondrules and metallic flakes. Low weathering grade. Display nicely.

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

This is a superb Nantan meteorite individual specimen, directly from Guangxi, China. Its dimensions are 35x17x6 mm and it weighs 7.33 grams.

The Nantan meteorites are a must for all collectors, more so that it is now very difficult to find worthy specimen. They are a very interesting IAB-MG iron discovered in 1958 and there is an estimated 9.5 T of this material. This is 1 of 88 approved meteorites classified as Iron, IAB-MG.

This is a fantastic shatter cone from France weighing 24.79 grams and measuring 45x25x25  mm. Although not a meteorite, impactites and shatter cones are directly linked to them and their impacts.   Shatter cones are evidence that the rock has been subjected to an extreme shock with very brief high pressures.

Shatter cones are rare geological features that are only known to form in the bedrock beneath large meteorite impact craters. They have a distinctively conical shape with thin grooves (striae) that radiate from the top (apex) of the cone. Shatter cones can range in length from 1 centimeter to several meters. The azimuths of the cones's axes typically radiate outwards from the point of impact, with the cones pointing towards the center of the impact crater.

This impactite was formed 186 million years ago.  This piece displays very well and is a very nice size showing multiple characteristics of its origin. Would make a beautiful addition to any collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a superb and rare Iron ungrouped classified Taza NWA 859 specimen displaying major league Regmaglypts!! It weighs 3.84 grams and measures 17x12x6 mm.  

The NWA 859 was found in 2001 in Taza, Morocco.  A total weight of 75.3 kg of mostly small pieces was classified by UCLA as an Iron, ungrouped; it is one of 157 meteorites classified as such. 

This specimen displays extremely well and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with both a Canagem Collection and a PolandMet Meteorites specimen card.

This is a nice 0.6 gram fragment of the Tatahouine meteorite which is classified as a stone achondrite, Diogenite (ADIO) Ca-poor.  This rare meteorite fell on June 27, 1931 at 0130 hours about 2 1/2 mi. NE of the village of Foum Tatahouine, Tunisia. 

This rare Diogenite broke into thousands of small fragments, most no larger than a gram. The large mass broke up near the earth's surface and as a result fusion crust is virtually absent, making this a difficult meteorite to recognize. If it had not been witnessed, it most likely would never have been found. Tatahouine is one of a few meteorites that is only available in small sizes, most are under 1 gram.

This piece is a very desirable type of material and a great specimen all around. The specimen is accompanied by two specimen cards, a The Hupe Collection and a Canagem® Collection card. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

Barite clusters are beautiful mineral specimens that feature intergrown crystals forming visually appealing arrangements. It is typically found as thick to thin tabular crystals, usually in clusters with the crystals growing parallel to one another, or nearly so.  It can also occur as bladed, blocky, or even rosette-like aggregates.  This is a fine cluster of bladed barite crystals.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

Name: Barite Cluster Crystal
Specimen Size:  Miniature-Sized
Dimensions:  55x35x35 mm / 2.2x1.4x1.4 inches
Weight: 66.97 Grams / 2.4 ounces
Origin: Mined in Mineral County, Nevada, USA

This is lot of small tumbled individuals from a Sahara Desert NWA unclassified meteorite.  Because they have been tumbled, you can clearly see the metal within the specimens. The total weight of the lot is 11.7 grams.  They range in size from 14 to 25 mm.  This never classified North West Africa stone was found in the Sahara desert around 2000.

These small individual specimens are great as teaching tools in the home or in the classroom, as gifts, or for jewelry making.   They can also be used for science projects and other types craft displays. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a must have 80.5 gram Impact Melt Rock from the Dellen Crater, north of Stokholm, Sweden. Some locals call these rocks by the name of “dellenites”, although officially they are impact melt rocks.  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 impactite was formed approx. 89 million years ago when a meteorite crashed into the earth making a round crater which is now a lake about 11 miles wide.  Dellen impactites were divided into three impactite groups: (i) suevitic impact breccias with lithic and melt clasts, (ii) impact melt rocks, and (iii) shocked (parautochthonous) target rock. In turn, impact melt rocks were divided into (i) clast-rich, (ii) clast-poor, and (iii) clast-free types.  The Dellenite type material was classified as clast poor impact melt breccia.

This gorgeous slice displays very well.  It is amazingly light considering its mass of 87x73x6   mm.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.
