Here we have for you a nice looking end cut of a Sahara Desert NWA unclassified meteorite weighing 44 grams. Its dimensions are 61x44x12mm. This never classified Northwest Africa stone was found in the Sahara Desert around 2000.

It's a good quality cut NWA meteorite specimen showing interesting internal structure (L5?) and attractive mottled interior with chondrules and metallic flakes. 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.

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.

The crystal face has been left raw on this piece to show the red and green olivine crystals which are showcased beautifully against the surrounding black lava crust. 

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

Malachite is perhaps the one of the most popular minerals for collectors due to its intense green color and sometimes beautiful banded masses. Africa contains several outstanding Malachite deposits. The mines at Katanga (Shaba), especially at Kolwezi, in the Congo (Zaire) produce Malachite in all sorts of odd shapes and forms, and are the source of the best banded, concentric, stalactitic and sparkling specimens. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

P.S. The white shiny spots are actually light reflections and are not signs of damages.

This is a fabulous 16.4 gram Sericho Pallasite Main Group meteorite, it measures 31x21x19 mm.  In 2016, two brothers were searching for their camels and came across several large, dense stones west of the village of Habaswein and south of Sericho, Kenya.  Though recognized as meteorites in 2016, the masses had been known to camel-herders for decades. One village elder said that as a child, he and his brothers would play on top of the stones.  It is classified as an Iron Pallasite main group with low weathering and is 1 of only 68 approved meteorites classified as such, with a recovered weight of about 2.8 T.

This piece displays extremely well and is a nice size showing great features. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

Here we have for you a large 51 grams superbly shaped Indochinite Tektite from Maoming City, Guangdong Province, China. Although not a meteorite, tektite is directly linked to them or their impacts, just consider its age of around 780,000 years old.

Tektite can still be interesting because of the persistent mystery has that resisted clear explanations of their creation for generations of geologists. Dimensions are 47x38x32 mm. 

This piece displays very well and is a very nice size showing multiple characteristics of its origin.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

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, such as green, yellow, and golden-brown.  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. 

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.

Shape: Oval Cabochon  
Color: Honey Green  
Clarity:  Nice crystal Cats Eye
Origin:  Africa

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. 

The cat's eye effect in apatite is caused by the presence of parallel needle-like inclusions within the stone.  The color of apatite cat's eye can vary, but it is often seen in shades of green or blue. The intensity and quality of the cat's eye effect can also vary from stone to stone.

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 fantastic shatter cone from Canada weighing 903 grams and measuring 12.8x8.3x6.3 cm. This shatter cone was formed 1.849 billion years ago at the Sudbury Basin (also named Sudbury Structure) in the Paleoproterozoic era.  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' axes typically radiate outwards from the point of impact, with the cones pointing towards the center of the impact crater.

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.
