This is a must have 90.4 gram Impact Melt Rock from the Dellen Crater, north of Stokholm, Sweden.  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 impactite was formed approx. 89 million years ago when a meteorite crashed into the earth making a round crater which is now a lake about 11 miles wide. The term tagamite was introduced in 1975 to describe impact rock from the Popigai crater in Russia. Varieties of tagamites are described based on crystallinity, texture and clast content.   HT Tagamite differs from other material due to the complete melting of the crystalline matrix and then being subjected to rapid cooling. 

This gorgeous slice displays very well.  It is amazingly light considering its mass of 92x57x8 mm.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a must have 90.7 gram Impact Breccia also referred to as Suevite coming from the famous Rochechouart impact structure in South Western France,.  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.

Named after the town of Rochechouart, the Rochechouart impact structure is located on the western margin of the French Massif Central near the city of Limoges, approximately 350 km (220 mi) south of Paris. Rochechouart (population about 3800) is built with rocks created or modified by the impact (impactites).

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 impactite was formed 186 million years ago.  This deformed rock fragments and partly molten are imbedded in a melt matrix showing typical flow structures from former melt.

This is a rare Uvite tourmaline crystal from Brumado, Bahia, Brazil. Uvite is an uncommon form of Tourmaline which has different crystal formations than most other Tourmalines. This mineral was first discovered in the locality of Uva Province in Sri Lanka where the name comes from.

This amazing specimen is a glassy green color and has all terminations and crystal faces. There are also magnesite inclusions and small magnesite crystals on the surface. It is in excellent condition. 

Uvite, like other tourmalines, it is believed to offer protection, grounding, and emotional healing. Uvite may also promote spiritual growth, align with the heart chakra, and aid in meditation.

This is a must have 209 gram polymict impact breccia from the Lockne Crater located approximately 21 km south of the city of Östersund in northern Sweden.  It is amazingly light considering its mass of 132x63x23 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.

Lockne is a 7.5km-wide impact structure that formed circa 455 Ma when an L-chondritic asteroid impacted mixed sedimentary and crystalline target rocks that were under a shallow epicontinental sea (500m deep) at the time. The feature and its surrounding impactite deposits were covered by Caledonian thrust nappes that also partly folded them.

Erosion has breached much of the overthrust rocks to show the impact site. Impactites include the Loftarstone (graywacke-like arenite with carbonate grains), Lockne Breccia (polymictic but mostly limestone clasts), Resurge deposits, Ynntjämen Breccia (monomictic, matrix-supported with calcareous-argillaceous matrix) and the Tandsbyn Breccia (monomictic crystalline ejecta).  This crater has been suggested to be a doublet with the nearby smaller Målingen Crater, 16 km apart.
