The Azuara Basal breccia refers to the impact material from the 38 million year old twin (multiple) impact structures Azuara / Rubielos de la Cerida in Northern Spain,.

This is a fantastic shatter cone from Canada weighing 850 grams and measuring 23x9x4.5 cm. This shatter cone was formed 1.849 billion years ago at the Sudbury Basin (also named Sudbury Structure) in the Paleoproterozoic era.  The exact location of the find is written on the back of this amazing specimen.  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.

This is a must have 11.4 gram Impact Melt Rock from the Dhala Impact Structure, India. It measures 41x29x6 mm.  Although not a meteorite, impactites are directly linked to them and their impacts and are probably going to be one of the rarest collection items 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 beautiful Impact melt rock comes from the 11 km-diameter highly eroded Dhala impact structure in India. The Dhala structure has an estimated age of about 2Ga (2,000 Ma), making it the third oldest terrestrial impact structure.

This gorgeous slice displays very well.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a Parcel or Lot of individual Northwest Africa (NWA) 4293 meteorites, formerly known as NQ10, an H6 chondrite found in the Sahara Desert in 2005. The meteorite lot weighs over 100 grams. Dimensions of the individuals vary between 16 and 40 mm with weight between 4 and 5 grams.  

This fascinating meteorite was mainly found as small individuals and the total weight of the 100's of pieces recovered is recorded as a low 25 kg.  The meteorite has a shock stage of 4 and weathering grade of 2.  Most pieces are free of caliche, have a smooth gray surface and are small complete individuals.  The unusual appearance is due to shock hardening and being sandblasted in the desert.

The one-centimeter cube in the image is for scale purposes.  These fantastic looking individuals would be great for passing around a classroom, for jewelry making or as small gifts to those who are interested in meteoritics.  What better way to share your enthusiasm for meteorites with others?  This lot comes with a Hupe Collection and a Canagem specimen cards.  Would make a beautiful addition to any collection or start one today.

This is a superb looking fragment of the Columbus classified meteorite weighing 4.57 grams. Its dimensions are 18x15x10 mm. This rare H5 classified meteorite was found in Luna County, New Mexico USA in 1997. The total weight of the stones recovered is recorded as a minuscule 165 grams. 

Here's what the finder, Michael Cottingham told us: "This is the Meteorite that started it all for me! My wife and I were out looking for meteorites on a dry lake bed in Southern New Mexico and I found one! This was a new meteorite discovery and it only took me 300 hours of searching to find my First One!  The COLUMBUS Meteorite was found by me in January of 1997. It was Classified by A. Rubin at UCLA as a H5 Chondrite. It was found near Columbus, Luna County, New Mexico and the Total Known Weight is ONLY 184 grams. Very Rare indeed."

This piece is part of America's history and is 1 of 228 approved meteorites from that location. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Michael Cottingham Meteorites and a Canagem Collection specimen cards.

This is a rare and fantastic 97.3 gram Libyan Desert Glass from Kuffra, Libya, with dimensions of 56x42x47 mm. 

Although its exact origin is still debated, the leading theory suggests it was formed by a high-energy event, such as a meteoric impact or airburst, that melted the desert sand directly where it lay, without being ejected into the atmosphere and re-entering. This results in different physical characteristics compared to tektites​. Libyan Desert Glass is found specifically in the Great Sand Sea of the Eastern Sahara, within a more localized area spanning parts of western Egypt and eastern Libya.

This is a fabulous 11.3 gram Sericho Pallasite Main Group meteorite, it measures 22x22x17 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 great looking two part cut of a Sahara Desert NWA unclassified meteorite weighing 26.2 grams. Its dimensions are 33x30x19 mm. This never classified North West Africa stone was found in Erfoud, Morocco in the Sahara desert in 2002.

It's a very good quality cut NWA meteorite specimen showing incredibly  interesting internal structure (L5?) and somewhat attractive with a mottled interior with chondrules and metallic flakes. This complete cut has very large iron inclusions, many chondrules and a nice black fusion crust.  Little weathering shows the meteorite's short time spent aging in the desert preserving a nice crusted look.
