This is a superb looking part slice of Sahara Desert NWA 2224 meteorite.  Although still considered unclassified, this meteorite was given the provisional class of CV3 for Carbonaceous. 

This is a great specimen with many multicolored chondrules and CAIs.  It's a Dean Bessey meteorite but unfortunately many of his finds were never fully submitted for analysis.  It is a shame for this particular specimen, as it is just spectacular.

This piece displays extremely well with its professionally finished cut face and comes protected in a gem jar. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

Samarskite is a radioactive rare earth mineral. Samarskite crystallizes in the orthorhombic – dipyramidal class as black to yellowish brown stubby prisms although it is typically found as anhedral masses. Specimens with a high uranium content are typically metamict and appear coated with a yellow brown earthy rind.

Samarskite-(Y) is rich in rare earth elements (REEs), niobium (Nb), and tantalum (Ta)—all of which are valuable in advanced electronics, alloys, and green energy technologies. The mineral can also contain trace amounts of uranium and thorium, which may cause it to be slightly radioactive.

Due to its uranium content, samarskite-(Y) is considered radioactive. It's recommended to wash hands after handling and avoid inhaling dust when breaking or handling the mineral. 

This specimen is in very good condition and displays very well.  Make this a special specimen in your collection.

Discover a remarkable Goniatite fossil from the Fammenian stage of the Devonian period, sourced from the Kowala Formation in Poland’s Kielce-Lagow Syncline.

This natural specimen, measuring 24 mm and weighing approximately 11.26 grams, features exquisite pyritization within its host rock, offering valuable insight into ancient marine life and exceptional preservation for collectors and researchers alike.

Although dinosaurs are the most well-known fossil life forms, pyritized fossils are also a favorite among those familiar with Paleontology (the study of the development of life on Earth) and are found in the rocks of all continents.

Name: Goniatite Fossil
Age: Fammenian (Devonian)
Location: Kowala Formation, Poland
Geological unit: Kielce-Lagow Syncline
Size: 11.26 gr / 0.4 oz

A superb example of fossilized brachiopod from Wapienno, Polanda. The high degree of preservation of the shell makes it much more special. These long articulate brachiopods are characterized by a triangular shell with a spherical profile, powerful ribs, a curved hinge line and a small umbo. The anterior margin shows a tongue like projection. Like most brachiopods, Rhynchonella was a stationary epifaunal suspension feeder.

Name: Rynchonella sp. Brachiopod
Age:  Jurassic
Location:  Wapienno, Poland
Dimensions:  28x24x18 mm / 1.1x0.9x0.7 inches 
Weight:  12.7 grams / 0.45 oz

A superb example of pyritized ammonites of the genera Kosmoceras, Quenstedticeras and others of the Callovian Stage (161 m.y.a) deposits of Russia. The high degree of preservation of natural mother-of-pearl shell makes it appear to be preserved as fire opal. This is a consequence of light passing through the various layers of aragonite and conchiolin deposited by the ammonite in life. The lack of acidity in the depositional environment allowed them to be preserved as you see here. The environment was also anoxic, leading to formation of Iron Pyrite (Fool's Gold).

Name: Rondiceras tschefkini Ammonite
Age:  Upper Jurassic
Location:  Mikhailov (Riazan Region), Russia
Dimensions:  22x17 mm / 0.9x0.7 inches 
Weight:  3.45 grams / 0.12 oz

This is a 16.9ct lot of beautiful rough emeralds.  This is the exact lot that you will receive.  The sizes of the emeralds range from 7.5 to 9.0 mm.

Ancient Romans associated the emerald with Venus, the goddess of love and beauty.   They firmly believed that this stone's purity was so strong that no evil presence could exist around it.

Emerald is connected to the heart chakra.  It is said to bring about great love and promote happiness and faithfulness in a relationship.

This is a lovely fossilized, and highly polished natural Orthoceras from Morocco.  It measures 43x13 mm and weighs 6.1 grams.  Orthoceras ("straight horn") is a genus of extinct cephalopod. This genus is sometimes called Orthoceratites. Note it is sometimes misspelled as Orthocera, Orthocerus or Orthoceros. Orthoceras are common fossils and have been found on many continents, including the Americas, Africa, Europe and Asia. They are dated to the lower Ordovician to Triassic ages (500 to 190 millions years ago). They belong to a group of predators known as cephalopods, which includes their living relatives the octopus, squid, cuttlefish and nautilus. 

Orthoceras fossils are great as a collectors item or can be used for jewelry making.

You will receive the exact matching iridescent ammonite halves pictured here.  They measure 34x26mm.

This is a perfectly fossilized and highly polished natural Ammonite from Morocco, which is perfect for gift giving to a new fossil collector. Ammonites are perhaps the most widely known fossil, possessing the typically ribbed spiral-form shell. These creatures lived in the seas between 240 - 65 million years ago, when they became extinct along with the dinosaurs. They belong to a group of predators known as cephalopods, which includes their living relatives the octopus, squid, cuttlefish and nautilus. It is probably going to be one of the rarest collection item you'll ever own. These are perfect if you make jewelry and similar crafts or as a fossil collection item.
