This is a great 17.7 gram KT-boundary clay from Zealand, Denmark, a UNESCO World Heritage site.  What makes Stevns Klint a UNESCO site inscribed in 2014 is the visible layer of fish clay and exceptional fossil record at the K-T boundary (Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary) along the cliff.  The KT-boundary clay at Stevns Klint is both impactite and a deposit containing fossils. It is considered impactite because the layer is composed of debris from the Chicxulub meteorite impact, including the iridium-rich "fish clay," which is evidence of the extraterrestrial event. It is also rich in fossils because the clay and surrounding rock strata contain evidence of the mass extinction and the recovery of marine life that followed.  

Stevns Klint, known as the Cliffs of Stevns in English, is a white chalk cliff located some 6 km (3.7 mi) southeast of Store Heddinge on the Danish island of Zealand. Stretching 17 km (11 mi) along the coast, it is of geological importance as one of the best exposed Cretaceous-Tertiary (K/T) boundaries in the world. Subject to frequent erosion, the cliff rises to a height of up to 40 m (130 ft).

Stevns Klint holds exceptional evidence of the Chicxulub meteorite impact that triggered the fifth mass extinction around 66 million years ago. This catastrophic event wiped out the dinosaurs and nearly 50% of all life on Earth, that paved the way of life as we know it today.

Most offerings are of macro size specimen so this is a rarely seen large example coming from the world renown Mr Christian Anger of Austria. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Austromet  and a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is the exact Moldavite gemstone that you will receive.

Moldavite is a rare, greenish gemstone formed by the impact of a meteorite. It is a type of tektite, which is a natural glass created from terrestrial material that melted during the intense heat of meteor impacts. Moldavite is believed to have been formed around 15 million years ago when a massive meteorite hit what is now the southern Germany and Czech Republic region, forming the Ries Impact Structure. The impact ejected material into the atmosphere, which later cooled and fell back to Earth as moldavite, primarily in the region of the Czech Republic.  The most well-known deposits are located near the Moldau River, from which it gets its name.  It is found in small quantities, making it relatively rare. 

Moldavite has a distinct green color, ranging from pale olive green to deep forest green. Some specimens even have a slight brownish tint.  It often has a wrinkled or pitted surface, a characteristic of its formation process.

This is a superb and rare individual specimen of the Zagora classified meteorite.  It weigh 3 grams and measures 15x8x8 mm. This Iron IAB-ung classified meteorite was found in Zagora, Ouarzazate, Morocco in 1987.  So far approximately 50 Kilos of this material has been recovered.  This is 1 of 69 approved meteorites classified as Iron, IAB-ung.

An unreported number of masses were found, the largest weighing 20 kg, 20 miles S. of Zagora (J. Schwade, 969 S. Chicago Avenue, Kankakee, Illinois 60901, USA). Classification from oxygen isotopic data, R. N. Clayton (1988) pers. comm. Analysis, 9.8% Ni, 62.2 ppm Ga, 226 ppm Ge, 2.68 ppm Ir, J. T. Wasson et al., (1989) Geochim. Cosmochim. Acta 53, 735.

This beautiful specimen displays very well.  Would be a great addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a BA-Meteorites.de.vu and a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a beautiful specimen of Pyrite from the Island of Elba in Italy. While pyrite is common around the world, this Italian specimens displays the typical pyritohedral form of the species.

Pyrite from Elba Island, Italy, is highly prized by collectors for its sharp, cubic, or pyritohedral crystals with a brilliant metallic luster. The most famous specimens come from the historical iron mines, particularly the Valle Giove mine and mines at Rio Marina. These pieces are often found in clusters, sometimes on a contrasting black hematite matrix, and are valued for their aesthetic quality and natural geometric perfection. 

Pyrite is known as a stone of protection, abundance, and confidence.  It is believed to shield against negative energy and promote mental clarity and willpower. 

This great specimen is in very good condition.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.
