This is a rare and fantastic 26.8 gram Libyan Desert Glass from Kuffra, Libya, with dimensions of 51x40x25 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.
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.
Prehnite is a green to yellowish-green colored mineral that belongs to the phyllosilicate family. It is composed of calcium, aluminum, and silicate, with traces of iron, magnesium, and other elements. Prehnite crystals have a unique pearly luster and can form in a variety of shapes, including tabular, prismatic, and stalactitic formations.
Prehnite is believed to have a calming effect on the mind and emotions, promoting relaxation and inner peace. It is also said to be a stone of unconditional love, compassion, and healing.
These Prehnite clusters originate from Africa. The dimensions of the clusters are listed below:
A: 31x24x20 mm/1.2x0.9x0.8 in | 20 gr/0.7 oz | 100.5 carats
B: 42x28x24 mm/1.6x1.1x0.9 in | 36 gr/1.3 oz | 182.5 carats
C: 43x32x31 mm/1.7x1.3x1.2 in | 59 gr/2.1 oz | 295.8 carats
D: 60x43x28 mm/2.4x1.7x1.1 in | 84 gr/3.0 oz | 420.6 carats
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 5.2 grams with dimensions of 25x16x10 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 must have 25.3 gram Impact Melt Rock from the Stac Fada Member Impact Structure, NW Scotland. It measures 74x31x6 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.
This beautiful Impact melt rock comes from the Stac Fada impact structure in Scotland. The structure has an estimated age of about 1.2Ga (1,200 Ma). The Stac Fada Member of the Precambrian Stoer Group in Scotland has previously been described as volcanic in origin. However, shocked quartz and biotite provide evidence for high-pressure shock metamorphism, while chromium isotope values and elevated abundances of platinum group metals and siderophile elements indicate addition of meteoritic material. Thus, the unit is reinterpreted as having an impact origin.
This gorgeous slice displays very well. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with two a Canagem Collection specimen card.
