This is an individual Northwest Africa or NWA 4293 formerly known as NQ10, an H6 chondrite found in the Sahara desert in 2005.  It is one of 5854 approved meteorites classified as such. The meteorite weighs 4 grams with dimensions of 16x14x11 mm.  

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.  NWA 4293 is interesting in the way it looks as can be seen in the images.  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.

This specimen comes with a Canagem specimen card.  Would make 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 3.79 grams and measures 15x11x7 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.

Pyrite from Bolivia is known for forming beautiful, well-shaped crystals, often appearing as sharp cubes, pyritohedrons (12-sided shapes), or even complex, stepped growth patterns. Bolivian pyrite tends to have a bright, brassy gold color with a good metallic luster, and it’s often found in association with other minerals like quartz or galena. 

Much of the pyrite from Bolivia comes from mining regions such as Potosí and Oruro, areas famous for their rich mineral deposits. While pyrite is common around the world, Bolivian specimens are valued for their attractive crystal habits, clean formations, and the quality of the material.

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

At this famous Canadian site, siderite typically forms as small, brown to tan crystals, often rhombohedral in shape, growing over or alongside white to gray albite. Scattered among them, tiny, sharp zircon crystals can appear — often reddish-brown, yellow, or even colorless depending on the exact specimen.

Mont-Saint-Hilaire is renowned for producing rare and unusual mineral combinations, and specimens like this highlight the diversity and richness of the location. While each mineral is interesting on its own, having siderite, albite, and zircon together in one piece makes it a well-balanced and attractive collector’s specimen, especially for those who appreciate the geology of the region

This is a very typical specimen of MSH and is in very good condition. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

This is a nice group of small yellow wulfenite crystals on matrix from Total Wreck Mine, Arizona.  Wulfenite from the Total Wreck Mine is known for producing small but attractive crystals, usually in shades of yellow to orange-yellow. The crystals from this mine tend to be thin, tabular, and sometimes slightly translucent, often growing on a contrasting, earthy matrix.

While the Total Wreck Mine isn’t as famous as places like the Red Cloud Mine for wulfenite, it has still yielded pieces that are valued by collectors, especially because Arizona as a whole is renowned for producing some of the world’s finest wulfenite. Specimens from Total Wreck are typically more modest in size and brightness but are appreciated for their historic mining context and authentic desert character.

Wulfenite is often associated with creativity, emotional balance, and perseverance. Some believe it helps connect the heart and the will, encouraging people to follow their passions even through difficult or uncertain times. Wulfenite is also thought to support emotional healing by helping release old attachments and clearing a path for new experiences.

The specimen is in good condition and is a colorful and really beautiful specimen. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

Astrophyllite is a striking and rare mineral known for its bronze to golden-bladed crystals that radiate like starbursts, often embedded in a dark matrix of other minerals. The name comes from Greek, meaning “star leaf,” referring to its star-like crystal formations. It  is found in locations such as Russia, Norway, Greenland, and Canada.  This specimen of Astrophyllite crystals originates from the world famous site of Mont-Saint-Hilaire, Québec. 

Astrophyllite is often seen as a stone of inner illumination and self-discovery. Some believe it helps reveal hidden potential and encourages personal truth, making it a supportive companion during times of change or reflection. It’s sometimes associated with letting go of the past and embracing a more authentic path forward.

This specimen is in very good condition and displays very well.  Make this a special specimen in your collection.

This is a nice 3.87 grams Brahin Pallasite stony iron classified meteorite part slice with dimensions 23x20x3 mm.  This rare meteorite was found in Minsk, Gomel Region, Belarus in 1810 and the Total Known Weight is ~ 823 kg.

This piece displays nicely 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.

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 27.8 grams and dimensions of 33x32x21.  Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a fantastic Impactite Fallback Breccia from Germany weighing 67.3 grams and measuring 75x59x10mm. 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.
