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 beautiful slice is completely surrounded by a lava crust and has been polished on both sides. 

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

These are fragments of the Abee meteorite (MB 8) that fell in Alberta, Canada at 11:05 p.m. on June 9th 1952.  It took five days to find it in a wheat field belonging to Mr Harry Buryn.  It is located in the community of Abee, Alberta, Canada in Thorhild County, along the Canadian National Railway and Highway 63, 16 km north of Thorhild and 49 km from Boyle.

This rare and highly collectable EH4 Enstatite chondrite is 1 of only 21 approved meteorites classified as such, 1 of 3 being an observed fall and only 1 of 5 not found in Antarctica. The total Mass is registered at 107 Kilograms in one stone recovered from a 6 ft (1.8 m) deep crater.  This is a great opportunity to acquire fragments that were used for testing in laboratory weighing 508 milligrams.

This hard to acquire rare specimen would make an amazing addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Dr. Martin Horejsi Collection of Meteorites and a Canagem Collection specimen cards and is displayed and protected in a pill case.

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.

Moissanite has become a popular alternative to diamonds for jewelry.  Moissanites have a similar appearance to diamonds and often look nearly identical to the untrained eye. They share the brilliance, sparkle, and fire that diamonds are known for, making them an attractive choice. With moissanite, it is possible to have a beautiful gemstone for a fraction of the price of a diamond.  Moissanites are primarily produced in laboratories, offering a controlled and consistent quality. This aspect appeals to those who prefer gemstones with known origins and minimal environmental impact.

Originally discovered in a meteorite crater, Moissanite is well known worldwide as the world’s most brilliant gemstone, better than diamonds. Moissanite is incredibly rare in its natural form; however, lab created moissanite is identical to the original with hardness second only to diamond.  Moissanites have a hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs scale, while  diamonds are a 10.  This makes moissanite suitable for everyday wear and less prone to scratching or damage.

This sparkling octagon cut moissanite is a great choice for any jewelry project.

Product Type: Tanzanite 
Approx Weight (per piece): 0.6ct
Size: 5.8mm 
Shape: Trilliant Cut (or Trillion Cut)
Color: Purple
Clarity: SI (Slightly Included)
Origin: Tanzania

Tanzanite is renowned for its intense blue and violet colors, but can also be golden, green, lilac and peacock (blue and green). The sole source of tanzanite is the Merelani Hills in northern Tanzania. Discovered in the 1960s, tanzanite is considered rarer than diamonds due to its single-source origin. The mines in Tanzania are exhaustible, adding to the gemstone's allure.

With a hardness of 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, tanzanite is relatively soft compared to some other gemstones. As a result, it requires gentle care to prevent scratches or damage.

Tanzanite is believed to aide with spiritual awareness, insight, and communication. Some attribute it with calming energies and the ability to enhance psychic abilities.
