This is a nice 6.48 gram specimen of the Seymchan Iron meteorite, the fragment measures 22x15x13 mm. The meteorite was found in 1967 in a brook-bed flowing into the river of Hekandue, a left tributary of the river of Jasachnaja of the Magadan district, USSR. It is classified as an Iron Pallasite main group and is 1 of only 48 approved meteorites classified as such, with a recovered weight of about 323 Kg.

This piece is very stable and will remain like this for years to come with minimal care. This piece displays extremely well and is a desirable size showing great features. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a great looking 2.278 kg (5 lbs) Meteor Crater Oxide (Canyon Diablo) individual specimen directly from Arizona, U.S.A.. Its dimensions are 9.9x9.4x8.5 cm (3.9x3.7x3.3 inches). 

This 2.278-kg Meteorite Oxide originates from the renowned Meteor Crater in Northern Arizona. Its natural oxidation process offers a unique, rugged texture and appearance, providing an authentic sample of extraterrestrial iron altered by Earth’s atmosphere over time. Ideal for collectors and researchers, this specimen exemplifies the scientific and geological significance of meteorite weathering.  This piece was obtained in 2005 from a retiring Meteor Crater employee.  It is highly magnetic and very heavy for its size.

Right now if you want to acquire something like this, the nice folks at the Crater will ask for $1.50 to $2.00 USD per gram.  Here you get it for substantially less in the best shape possible. Would make a beautiful addition to any collection or start one today.

Indochinite is a variety of the mineral tektite, which is a natural glass formed by the intense heat and pressure of a meteorite impact.  These tektites are usually found as small, aerodynamically shaped objects, often teardrop or irregular in shape, resulting from the molten material solidifying as it cooled rapidly after being ejected from the impact site.

Indochinites are believed to have formed around 780,000 to 800,000 years ago, following a significant meteorite impact event that likely created the Southeast Asian tektite strewn field.  The strewn field is quite large, and the tektites can be found scattered over a vast area which includes Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand.   

This piece displays very well, showing multiple characteristics of its origin.  The specimen has a weigh of 40.2 grams and dimensions of 38x35x23.  Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a great looking fresh individual Gao-Guenie H5 classified meteorite. It weighs 2.55 grams and measures 14x11x8 mm.  Picked up right after the fall, It is 100% fresh 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 with a Canagem® Collection specimen card.

This is a beautiful polished free form of Malachite from the Democratic Republic of Congo.  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.

This is a rare Iron ungrouped classified Taza Northwest Africa 859 specimen, in an as found state.  It weighs 0.97 grams and measures 12x6x6 mm.  

The NWA 859 was found in 2001 in Taza, Morocco.  A total weight of 75.3 kg of mostly small pieces was classified by UCLA as an Iron, ungrouped; it is one of 157 meteorites classified as such. 

This specimen displays extremely well and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes in a gem jar with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a great looking fresh individual Gao-Guenie H5 classified meteorite. It weighs 3.65 grams and measures 17x15x10 mm.  Picked up right after the fall, It has a nice black crust on over 90% of its surface.  

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 with a Meteorpassion and a Canagem® Collection specimen card.

The NWA 267 meteorite fragment offered here is in as found condition.  It weighs 2 grams, with dimensions of 18x11x6mm.  The meteorite will come with two specimen description cards including a signed "The Mark Bostick Collection" card.

This meteorite was once a pile of weathered unclassified meteorite fragments brought to the 2000 Denver show by a Moroccan fossil dealer. These fragments, 73.9 kg. worth, where purchased by Canadian meteorite dealer Dean Bessey, who was told the following on the meteorites: "A nomad found an area with a lot of unusual strange stones near the Morocco/Algeria border. He brought one to a fossil dealer and asked: "I hear that you will pay money for stones like this". After shaking his head in disbelief at a positive response, the nomad gathered up all his camels, wives and children and brought them into the desert to search over his personal strewn field." Or at least that is how the story goes.

Many thousands of stones, 73.9 kilograms, were recovered, most of these fragments under 20 grams. Then 356 grams and a thin section of the meteorite was donated to the Vernadaky Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry, part of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, where it was classified by M. Ivanova. This meteorite, an ordinary stone chondrite, H4 class has a Shock Rating of 2 and a Weathering Grade of 2-3 and the classification information was published in Meteoritical Bulletin 85.

While the stone did not get a heavy weathering grade, very few specimens show any crust. This meteorite is believed to have come from the Hebe class asteroids. I've included an informational photo of a NWA 267 Meteorite thin section which are used in earth geology, and in meteorites to identify the minerals in them. The photo shows a large imperfect elongated chondrule. Chondrules are unique features to meteorites. The chondrule shown is composed of mostly pyroxene and the bright colored minerals scattered throughout the thin section is mostly olivine.

One of the fun facts is that the NWA 267 was also the first meteorite ever minted onto a real legal tender coin. The National Bank of Liberia made 999 of these $10.00 Silver coins in 2004. The meteorite used in the coin, was supplied by Mark Bostick himself and his name and signature came on the certificate with the coin. The provided images of the coin shows a nomad on a camel on the obverse. A meteorite is falling through the star filled sky in the background. Reverse of coin has a seal of the Liberia Government and notes its value. We include 2 specimen cards but unfortunately the thin section and coin used in the ad are NOT included!

This is a fantastic crusted 3.81 grams NWA (Northwest Africa) 869L3-6 classified meteorite Individual found by Nomads in the Sahara Desert. The dimensions of the specimen are 19x11x14 mm.

NWA 869 classified meteorites can still be interesting and this one is for sure perfectly shaped to catch your attention. It displays a superb crust on most of its surface.  Most samples are individual meteorites but some fragments (mostly >1 kg) also occur. In most cases the fusion crust has been polished or ablated by wind erosion. Many samples are more severely affected and show faces with deep wind erosion features. Fracture faces, formed by ground collision, show a typical gray-green color and sometimes visible brecciation (light and/or dark clasts).

This is a great looking part slice of a Northwest Africa 2946 H3.8 classified meteorite.  It weighs 8.2 grams and measures 34x18x5 mm. This meteorite was found in the Sahara Desert in 2005 and has a total recovered weight recorded as a low 149 grams.  It has a Shock stage of 2 and a Weathering grade of 2. Very attractive highly shocked matrix. Nice metal in black shocked matrix.

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