This is a must have 78.92-gram Impact Fallback Breccia from the Wanapitei Impact Crater at Wanapitei Lake, near Sudbury in Ontario Canada. Its dimensions are 112x78x5 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 pieces you'll ever own. 

Wanapitei Lake, located northeast of Sudbury, Ontario, is a 37-million-year-old meteorite impact crater, with its impact origin confirmed by the presence of suevite found in glacial drift surrounding the lake. Suevite is a type of breccia containing dark, vesicular glass formed under high-pressure shock metamorphism

Identified in the 1970s, the suevite at Wanapitei is a crumbly, shock-metamorphosed rock that often contains coesite, a high-pressure mineral diagnostic of impact structures.  The impact occurred during the Late Eocene epoch, roughly 37 million years ago. The crater is estimated to be 7 to 8.6 km in diameter, with the lake sitting on the edge of the much older and larger Sudbury Basin. The suevite appears very similar in composition to that found in the Ries crater in Germany, often containing bits of dark glass and partially melted clasts.

Note that this is not a meteorite but a slice of Earth rock, altered by a meteorite impact. A very, very large meteorite.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

Product Type: Chrysoberyl Cats Eye
Approx Weight (per piece): 1.5ct 
Size: 7.5x6.5mm
Shape: Oval Cabochon
Color:  Amber Green Cats Eye
Clarity:  Transparent
Origin:  Africa
Treatment:  Cat's Eye Chrysoberyl is typically untreated. The chatoyancy is a natural occurrence caused by inclusions within the crystal.

The distinctive "cat's eye" effect in this Chrysoberyl is caused by the reflection of light off parallel needle-like inclusions within the crystal. When the gem is cut en cabochon, a concentrated, bright band of light appears to move across the surface as the stone is rotated.

Cat's Eye Chrysoberyl comes in various colors, with green, yellow, and golden-brown being common. The most valuable specimens often exhibit a honey or honey-green color.  It is a durable gemstone, scoring 8.5 on the Mohs scale of hardness, making it suitable for various types of jewelry.

Significant sources of Cat's Eye Chrysoberyl include Sri Lanka, Brazil, India, Myanmar, and Madagascar. Sri Lankan stones, in particular, are renowned for their exceptional cat's eye effects.

Cat's Eye Chrysoberyl is believed to possess metaphysical properties associated with protection, intuition, and good fortune. Some traditions consider it a talisman for enhancing insight and awareness.

Apatite is a group of phosphate minerals that are commonly found in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks.  Apatite is named after the Greek word "apate," which means deceit, as it can be easily confused with other minerals due to its wide range of colors and forms. It can occur in various colors, including green, blue, yellow, brown, and violet. 

Apatite is believed to possess healing properties and is associated with creativity, self-expression, and personal growth. It is thought to enhance communication skills, stimulate intellect, and promote clarity of thought.

This is a rare 7.63-gram Impactite end cut specimen from the impact structure located near the village of Karlinskoye in the Ulyanovsk Oblast of Russia.  It is generally referred to as the Karla crater (Russian: Карлинский кратер). Its dimensions are 46x38x7 mm. 

The Karla crater, not to be confused with the Kara crater, is situated in the Ulyanovsk Oblast, near the village of Karlinskoye, not far from the city of Ulyanovsk. It is a confirmed meteorite impact structure with a diameter of approximately 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) with the age of the impact is estimated to be around 5 ± 1 million years old, placing it in the Pliocene epoch. The crater is considered exposed at the surface, and it features a complex structure with a central uplift composed of Paleozoic sediments and Archean crystalline basement rock, surrounded by a collapsed disruption cavity filled with breccia and lake deposits.

Take a closer look at a piece of history with this remarkable impactite. A highly unique addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a rare 21.69-gram Kamensk Crater Impactite end cut specimen from the impact crater located 10 to 15 kilometres (6.2 to 9.3 mi) to the north of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky town in Rostov Oblast, Russia. Its dimensions are 57x43x12 mm. 

Kamensk crater is 25 km (16 mi) in diameter and the age is estimated to be 49.0 ± 0.2 million years old (Eocene). The crater is not exposed at the surface.  It may have formed at the same time as the smaller and nearby Gusev crater. Although not a meteorite, impactites are directly linked to them and their impacts and are probably going to be one of the rarest collection pieces you'll ever own.

This is a great looking Bereba classified meteorite specimen weighing .11 gram.  A single stone weighing 18 kilograms was observed falling on June 27, 1924 at 3:30pm in Burkina Faso  This Eucrite-mmict classified meteorite and is 1 of only 304 approved meteorites classified as such. This is a very difficult fall to acquire.

It is recognized as a monomict breccia, providing significant insight into the geological history of the asteroid 4 Vesta, from which it is believed to originate.

This piece is a very desirable type of material and a great specimen all around. The specimen comes in a protective display case. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card plus one from origin.

The Gold Hill Wash Prospect, part of the Clifton-Gold Hill Mining District, is known for its rich mineral resources, including jarosite. This mineral is part of the larger group of minerals found in the area, which also includes limonite.

The Gold Hill Mine, operated by the Western Utah Copper Company in the early 20th century, was significant for its arsenic deposits, although it closed after World War I. The mine's portals and shafts have since been sealed by the state of Utah.

This specimen from the Gold Hill Mine is a matrix covered with minute jarosite crystals.  This specimen is an interesting addition to any mineral collection.
