This is a superb and rare specimen of the attractive, orange-red Santa Catharina classified meteorite weighing 9.02 grams.  It measures 27x19x13 mm.  This Iron IAB-ung classified meteorite was discovered in 1875 by Goncalves da Rosa on the island of São Francisco in Brazil.

The meteorite is estimated to have collided with Earth about 70-110 million years ago, creating a 12-kilometer crater in the area of Varejao in present-day Santa Catharina. Approximately 7 tons of this material has been recovered.  

The Iron IAB-ung is an association of iron meteorites, including the former groups IAB and IIICD. The new term "IAB complex" includes a variety of newly defined groups, including the "IAB main group", grouplets, and ungrouped meteorites.

This difficult to find specimen would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Naturalia and a Canagem collection specimen cards.

This is a stunning Henbury  classified meteorite weighing 6.88 grams. Its dimensions are 21x11x10mm.  This Iron (IIIAB) Medium Octahedrite classified meteorite was found in the Northern Territory of Australia in 1931. So far approximately 2T of this material have been recovered. This piece displays extremely well.  This Australian find is very well shaped and preserved. These pieces are becoming more difficult to acquire so this is a good time to get a fine specimen.

Henbury fell 8 miles southwest of the town of Henbury, Australia almost 10,000 years ago. RA Alderman investigated the site in May 1931 based upon Aborigine stories. He found 13 craters, the largest of which was 720 x 360 feet. Few meteorites were found in the largest three craters indicating an explosive impact. Some of the Henbury meteorites are shrapnel shaped indicating this explosive ending and some have smooth edges indicating abrasion by an atmospheric passage.

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

This is a stunning Veevers classified meteorite weighing 2.67 grams. Mark Bostick said that the specimen was shaped like a bird claw.  He traded the main mass of this amazing meteorite to TCU.  This amazingly well preserved specimen measures 15x8x7 mm. 

The Veevers crater is located in the Gibson Desert of Western Australia. It has a diameter of 60-80 meters across and a depth of about 6-7 meters. The crater's rim is raised 1.5m above the surrounding plain, and contains exposed rocks thrown from the center of the crater. The sides are gravelly rock with a few larger rocks mixed within. The bottom of the crater is covered with sand.  Veevers is isolated in a vast, flat landscape with no other features in sight. Discovered in the mid-1970's and named by Yeates, A.N., Crowe, R.W.A. & Towner, R.R., in 1976, as The Veevers Crater in honor of Australian geologist Prof. John Veevers, for his work at mapping Western Australia.

In 1984, Dr. Carolyn and Eugene Shoemaker investigated meteorite craters and ancient impact structures throughout Australia. Their search recovered thirty-six small meteoritic fragments from the Veevers crater. Their finds totaled 298.1 grams, and included the largest found to date, 36.3g., now cleaned and coated it weighs 37.0 grams. The Veevers fragments have been described as single crystals of kamacite. Kamacite is a metallic iron with up to 7.5% nickel. Since the Shoemaker trip, more meteorite fragments have been found, bringing the total known weight to around 1 kg. The Veevers crater is naturally rich in iron-rich laterite, which makes recovery of small meteorite fragments hard. It is one of only two impact craters where group IIAB meteorites have been discovered. The other being the Sikhote-Alin craters in Eastern Siberia, Russia.

Would be an exceptional and rare addition to any new or existing collection.  This historically important specimen will come in its original Mark Bostick display box and include The Mark Bostick Collection and Canagem Collection specimen cards.

This is a great looking H5 classified meteorite and a great looking professionally prepared full slice, this excellent specimen weighs 15.88 grams and represents the Capot Rey meteorite found in 2004 in Niger.  The total know weight of the find is at 38 Kilograms with a shock stage of S2 and weathering degree of W1.  This full slice measures 55x32x3 mm.

Many stony fragments totalling 38 kg were found by by G. Moreau in the erg Capot-Rey, Ténéré du Tafassasset, Niger. The stones define an elliptical strewn-field measuring 7x3.5 km, with a NE-SW major axis. The largest fragment weighs 2 kg.

Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. A great display piece, it comes with a Gi-Po-de Collection and a Canagem Collection specimen card.

Green kyanite gemstones are a beautiful and relatively rare variety of kyanite, a mineral valued for its attractive color and crystal structure.  Green kyanite gemstones exhibit various shades of green, ranging from pale to deep hues. The color is typically caused by trace amounts of chromium or vanadium within the crystal lattice. The intensity and saturation of the green color can vary, with some stones displaying a vibrant, vivid green and others a more subtle, earthy tone.

Ametrine is a gemstone that is a combination of amethyst and citrine, which are both varieties of quartz. It displays a beautiful blend of purple and yellow colors due to the presence of iron impurities. The name "ametrine" is derived from the combination of "amethyst" and "citrine."  Ametrine is relatively rare compared to other gemstones and is mainly found in Bolivia, although it can also be found in smaller quantities in Brazil, Uruguay, and India.

Ametrine combines the calming and spiritual properties of amethyst with the energizing and uplifting qualities of citrine. This combination is thought to promote balance, harmony, and mental clarity. Ametrine is also associated with creativity, confidence, and overall well-being.

Here we have a Toluca meteorite etched end cut. This incredible specimen weighs 17.96 grams and measures 41x20x7 mm.  Found in 1776, this meteorite has a TKW of 3 tons.  

The Toluca meteorite is classified as an Iron IAB-sLL and was discovered in Xiquipilco, Mexico State, Mexico.  The classification Iron, IAB-sLL means "An iron meteorite belonging to the low-Au, low-Ni subgroup (sLL) of the IAB complex".  This specimen was etched to show its unique widmanstatten pattern.

This is a fantastic crusted 10 grams NWA (Northwest Africa) 869 L3-6 classified meteorite individual found by Nomads in the Sahara Desert. The dimensions of the specimen are 21x15x16 mm.  This specimen comes from the Hupé Collection.

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 stunning Dronino classified meteorite end cut weighing 97.95 grams. Its dimensions are 47x34x21 mm.  This interesting meteorite is a Nickel-Iron Meteorite, an Ataxite with an ungrouped element structure.

A 40 kg iron was found by Oleg Gus’kov, Moscow resident, as he was returning home from collecting mushrooms near the village of Dronino in the Ryazan district. In early 2003, it was taken to Vernad to The Meteoritical Society΄s Meteorite Nomenclature Committee which defined this meteorite as ungrouped ataxite. In the summer of 2003, the Meteoritic Expedition of Ural State Technical University – UPI and meteorite hunters collected more than 600 fragments (the largest is 250 kg) totaling about 3 000 kg and occurring at a depth of 0.2-2 m across an area of 0.5x1.5 km.

The distribution of the fragments suggests that the meteorite formed a now-buried crater about 30 m in diameter. This crater is not reflected in the present-day topography of the site. No historical records exist of a meteorite fall; thus, it appears likely that the meteorite fell earlier than the 12th century when the area was largely unpopulated.

These pieces are becoming more difficult to acquire so this is a good time to get a fine specimen. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.
