This is a natural cluster formation of calcite on calcite crystals or two variations of the mineral found in a cracked concretion in a coal mine in Oskaloosa, Mahaska County, Iowa, USA.

It is a specimen consisting of two types of calcite on matrix. The first type is a coating of iridescent, dark calcite on the matrix. The second type are white crystals of calcite.   It is in good condition.  Would be a nice addition to any new or existing collection.

Smithsonite can occur in a variety of colors, including white, grey, blue, green, pink, brown, and yellow. Its coloration is often influenced by impurities present during its formation. The crystals can be transparent to translucent, with a vitreous to pearly luster.  It commonly occurs as botryoidal (rounded, globular masses resembling a bunch of grapes) or reniform (kidney-shaped) aggregates. It can also form crusts, stalactites, and stalagmites.  Significant deposits of smithsonite have been found in various countries, including the United States, Mexico, Australia, Namibia, Greece, and China.

This is a great looking fresh individual Gao-Guenie H5 classified meteorite weighing 3.25 grams. Its dimensions are 16x11x12 mm and is 100% fusion crusted which is the most desirable specimen state.  

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 in a protective case and with a Meteor Passion Collection and a Canagem® Collection specimen card.

This is a great fragment of the Tatahouine  meteorite which is classified as a stone achondrite, Diogenite (ADIO) Ca-poor. It weighs 0.35 grams and measures 8x6x5 mm. 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 comes in a display box and is accompanied by a Meteor Passion Collection and a Canagem® Collection card. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

Here we have for you a nice looking tumbled individual of a Sahara Desert NWA unclassified meteorite weighing 9.5 grams. Its dimensions are 30x24x8mm. This never classified North West Africa stone was found in the Sahara desert around 2000.

This is a superb looking Sayh al Uhaymir or SaU 001 meteorite slice weighing 4.41 grams. Its dimensions are 23x19x4 mm. This L4-5 classified meteorite was part of the 1000 stones found in Oman the 16 March 2000 with a total mass of 450 Kg. The shock stage of S2 and weathering grade of W1 is recorded for these pieces.

This premium piece would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.  Comes with two cards including a Canagem Collection specimen card.

Here we have for you a superb looking Dhofar 020 classified meteorite weighing 17.15 grams. Its dimensions are 31x19x20 mm.  Found 10 March 2000 in Dhofar, Oman, in the Arabian Peninsula this H4/5 classified chondrite has a TKW of 256 Kg with a shock stage of S4 and weathering grade of W3 by the Russian Academy of Sciences, USSR.

Dhofar 020 is an ordinary stone chondrite meteorite. The meteorite is high in free metal and therefore falls in the H class. S4 tells it is highly shocked. Slices of the meteorite, show veins of the cosmic impact created mineral Ringwoodite, although fractures in the stone tend to hide this some. It almost appears to me to have splinted upon impact. The meteorite falls in 4-5 petrology class, a reference to how metamorphed the meteorite is from its original state. This is judged by studying a thin section of the meteorite, most visually at the chondrules, a feature unique to stone meteorite. In a thin section under polarized light, pyroxene chondrules seem more common then their olivine pair. Still some regions in the meteorite show scattered patches of bright olivine inclusions. These are fairly rare, at least on my thin section, and most of the meteorite's olivine and pyroxene, some of the easier things to see in a thin section, appear to have went through a metamorphism, and have "melted" into the matrix and are at times undistinguishable.

This piece displays extremely well, it has a beautiful crust and is a good size. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Michael Farmer Meteorites and a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is an incredible crusted end cut Northwest Africa (NWA) 400, formerly named and sold as Oum Rokba, meteorite from Morocco Western Sahara. This superb piece weights 3.65 grams and measures 25x17x6 mm. 

This H5 classified meteorite was obtained from the M. Farmer Collection.  It was bought by him in Africa in September 2000 and it was classified by UCLA.  This meteorite was comprised of several hundred complete stones, with a total weight of around 100 kilos.

This meteorite was found by a nomad a few kilometers from an Oasis named Oum Rokba, which means "Old woman's knee" in Arabic! How the oasis got that name we'll never know.  The meteorite has a distinctive, smooth exterior devoid of fusion-crust; interior has abundant metal-grains.

There is no official total known weight recorded for this meteorite.  This amazing meteorite has been classified as a H5 chondrite, with a Shock stage of 2 and weathering of 2.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Michael Farmer Meteorites and a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is an nice 0.98 gram slice of Sahara 02500 L3 classified meteorite. The dimensions of the specimen are 14x12x3 mm.

These meteorites are very beautiful with a highly contrasting and surprisingly colorful texture, often brecciated with numerous clasts. There is not a lot of fusion crust, however, they are only slightly weathered, as they have been found on the desert surface. The meteorites final publication and official naming by the Nomenclature Committee of the Meteoritical Society was expected to be a L3.8 but officially became an L3 with a Shock stage of S2 and a Weathering grade of W1. The name used in the field of Wadi Mellene is the origin of it's find according to the locals.

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