This is a superb looking Stony-iron or Mesosiderite classified Northwest Africa NWA 2945 classified meteorite; this amazing specimen is a part slice weighing 2 grams with dimensions of 16x12x4 mm.

The Metbul for NWA 2945 states that only one piece weighing 224 grams was recovered in 2005 from a small strewn field in Algeria. The classification of the NWA 2945 is a Mesosiderite with low shock rating of 2, and a degree of weathering also of 2 and most likely paired with the NWA 2924.

This slice displays extremely well and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with both a Canagem Collection and a BA-Meteorites.de.vu specimen card.

This is a fantastic 3.87 gram part slice NWA (Northwest Africa) 869 L3-6 classified meteorite. The dimensions of the specimen are 15x9x9 mm.  This part slice displays a superb crust on one surface and and multiple cut faces that have been professionally prepared to show all the chondrules typical of the best 869s.  

Most NWA 869 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 premium quality specimen shows the best of 869 you can get today and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a signed Mark Bostick Collection and a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a fantastic Impactite Fallback Breccia from Germany weighing 33.3 grams and measuring 65x49x8mm. 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.

This is a great 22 gram Impact Melt Breccia from the Gardnos Crater in Norway.  It is amazingly light considering its mass of 56x28x9mm. Although not a meteorite, impactites are directly linked to them and their impacts and are probably going to be one of the rarest collection item 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 between 385 and 900 million years ago in Precambrian time when a meteorite crashed into the earth making a ~5 kilometers wide crater locally known as the Hallingdal Impact Crater. 

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

This amazing specimen of Vesuvianite was collected in the now closed Jeffery Mine in Asbestos, Québec, Canada. The specimen is made up of a combination of green and mauve vesuvianite crystals also named violet manganoan vesuvianite. It is a large specimen in good condition. A great addition to any collection!

Vesuvianite was first discovered on Mount Vesuvius in Italy in the 18th century, hence its name. It typically occurs as a green, brown, yellow, or blue-green crystal, and is often found in metamorphic and igneous rocks. The alternate name, Idocrase, is from the Greek eidos “form”, and krasis “mixture”, because Vesuvianite often appears to combine the crystal forms of other minerals. It is used as a gemstone.

This is a must have 20.3 gram Impactite from Norrbo, 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.

This gorgeous slice displays very well.  It is amazingly light considering its mass of 59x34x8mm.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a rare and fantastic 8.5 gram Libyan Desert Glass from Kuffra, Libya, with dimensions of 32x18x17 mm.  Although its exact origin is still debated, the leading theory suggests it was formed by a high-energy event, such as a meteoric impact or airburst, that melted the desert sand directly where it lay, without being ejected into the atmosphere and re-entering. This results in different physical characteristics compared to tektites​.

Libyan Desert Glass is found specifically in the Great Sand Sea of the Eastern Sahara, within a more localized area spanning parts of western Egypt and eastern Libya.  Characterized by its yellow to greenish-yellow color, it lacks the aerodynamic shapes of tektites and often appears as irregularly shaped pieces. It is almost pure silica (around 98%) with very few impurities. Throughout history, it has been regarded as a mystical and powerful material, sometimes used in talismans and amulets.

This piece displays extremely well and is a quality translucent specimen. It has an aesthetic shape with a beautiful wind eroded body from the years spent in the Desert. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

Vanadinite crystals are small, hexagonal prismatic crystals that are typically red to brownish-red in color. They have a bright luster and a transparent to translucent appearance. The crystals often form in aggregates, creating intricate and interesting formations.  Vanadinite would hardly be as famous if not for the outstanding locality of Mibladen, Morocco. This locality has by far produced the most outstanding crystals of beautiful color and form. 

Vanadinite is believed to enhance vitality, motivation, and manifestation, while also promoting clarity, focus, and protection from negativity.

Product Type: Vanadinite Crystal On Barite 
Specimen Size:  Miniature-Sized
Dimensions: 45x34x23 mm / 1.8x1.3x.09 inches
Weight: 29.56 grams / 1.0 ounces

While it's commonly colorless or white, Calcite can also appear in various hues, including shades of green, blue, yellow, orange, red, brown, and even black.  This sphere is a beautiful example of yellow calcite.  The coloration is often due to impurities or exposure to different minerals during formation.  Calcite is typically transparent to translucent, allowing light to pass through and sometimes exhibit a phenomenon called double refraction.  is found throughout the world in sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks.

Calcite is associated with clarity, amplification of energy, and cleansing.  It is believed it can help with emotional healing, motivation, and creativity.
