This is a sculpted plate of Limonite after Pyrite.  Limonite after pyrite is a type of pseudomorph, meaning limonite has replaced the original pyrite crystal structure while keeping its shape. This occurs when pyrite oxidizes over time, often in the presence of water and oxygen, transforming into limonite, a mixture of hydrated iron oxides. The result is a rusty brown to yellowish mineral that retains pyrite’s cubic or pyritohedral shape but with a softer, earthy texture.

It believed that limonite after pyrite combines pyrite’s energy of strength and manifestation with limonite’s grounding and protective qualities. It is sometimes associated with stability, resilience, and transformation, symbolizing the ability to adapt and grow through life’s changes.

This is a great thumbnail sized Limonite after Pyrite pseudomorph specimen from Spain.

Name: Limonite after Pyrite Cluster
Specimen Size:  Thumbnail-Sized
Dimensions: 25x15x7 mm / 1.0x0.6x0.3 inches
Weight: 3.09 Grams / 0.1 oz
Origin: Mined in Carratraca, Spain

This is a fantastic Impactite Fallback Breccia from Germany weighing 16 grams and measuring 48x37x7mm. Although not a meteorite, impactites and shatter cones are directly linked to them and their impacts. The Steinheim Basin today exhibits a distinct morphological depression that is ∼110 m deep and ∼3.5 km in diameter; the height of the central uplift totals to more than 140 m. The original size of the pristine crater is estimated to be ∼3.8 km with an original depth of ∼205 m.

As this drainless morphological depression was filled by lake sediments shortly after the impact, the primary crater morphology is widely preserved. The crater rim is formed by steeply inclined and intensely brecciated Upper Jurassic limestone blocks that also contain numerous shattered chert nodules, as well as some loose blocks of the host limestone. An impact breccia, referred to as the so-called ”Primäre Beckenbrekzie” (“primary basin breccia”) and interpreted as a “fallback breccia”, is known from many drillings in the Steinheim Basin.

Mainly composed of Middle to Upper Jurassic limestones, marls, mudstones, and sandstones, the impact breccia inside the morphological depression of the Steinheim Basin is overlain by lake sediments and is obviously preserved in its original thickness and position.   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.

This is a rare and great looking Richland meteorite part slice weighing 6.2 grams. Its dimensions are 18x11x6 mm. This IIAB classified Iron meteorite was first found near Fredericksburg., Texas USA in 2000.  Total weight of this find is set at 50.6 Kg.

A 47 kg iron meteorite was reportedly found near Fredericksburg, Texas. Chemical analysis showed that it is indistinguishable from Richland, a 13.6 kg IIAB iron that was found ~300 km away. It is likely that these meteorites are paired and that one (or both) masses were transported by humans from their original find locations. Henceforth, the name Fredericksburg shall be an unofficial synonym for Richland. The new mass may be referred to as "Richland (Fredericksburg)." A total of 213 g is on deposit at UCLA.

This rare specimen would be an amazing addition to any new or existing collection.  Will come with a Canagem® specimen card plus two original meteorite labels.

This is a great 43.6 gram Impact Melt Breccia from the Gardnos Crater in Norway.  It is amazingly light considering its mass of 54x43x9mm. Although not a meteorite, impactites are directly linked to them and their impacts and are probably going to be one of the rarest collection item you'll ever own. Impactite is a slag-like glassy object found on the surface of the earth, formed from rock melted by the impact of a meteorite.

The term impactite encompasses shock-metamorphosed target rocks, melts or suevites and mixtures of the two, as well as sedimentary rocks with significant impact-derived components and shocked mineral grains, tektites, anomalous geochemical signatures, etc.

This impactite was formed between 385 and 900 million years ago in Precambrian time when a meteorite crashed into the earth making a ~5 kilometers wide crater locally known as the Hallingdal Impact Crater. 

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

This is a fabulous specimen of bladed kyanite and quartz mined in Barra do Salinas district, Barra do Salinas, Coronel Murta, Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Kyanite is known to be one of the most attractive natural minerals in the world, frequently found with lustrous blue bladed crystals, with the intensity of color varying by location of extraction. Kyanite regularly forms fibrous, radiating crystals, as well as flattened and tabular. Some crystals form with white striations, color bands, and even multi-colored crystals, though typically found with a deep blue streak running down the middle.

Blue kyanite is often associated with clarity, communication, and energy alignment. Some believe it helps with self-expression and speaking one’s truth, making it a popular stone for those who want to improve communication or deepen their intuition.

Tsavorite is a variety of the garnet family, specifically a green grossular garnet. Its color ranges from a vivid green to an intense greenish-blue.  Tsavorite was first discovered in the 1960s in Tanzania and was later found in Kenya.  Due to its scarcity, it is considered one of the rarest and most valuable garnets.

Tsavorite is relatively durable with a hardness of 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale. This makes it suitable for various types of jewelry, though care should be taken to avoid exposure to extreme heat or harsh chemicals.

Tsavorite is associated with prosperity, abundance, and vitality. Some consider it a stone of growth and regeneration, both in the physical and spiritual sense.

Serpentinite is a rock composed of one or more serpentine group minerals and is named after the Latin word "serpens" meaning a serpent, alluding to the appearance of snake skin.  Minerals in this group are rich in magnesium and water and are light to dark green. They are formed by serpentinization, a hydration and metamorphic transformation of ultramafic rock from the Earth's mantle. 

Serpentinite is thought to aid in grounding, protection, and clearing negative energy. It is believed to help with emotional resilience and spiritual transformation, making it a favored stone for balancing energy and navigating life changes.
