This is a must have 506.7-gram Impact Melt Breccia, also referred to as Suevite, coming from Zipplingen and the famous Ries crater Germany. 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 14.5 million years ago in Malmian or Jurassic limestone when a meteorite crashed into the earth making a ~10 miles wide crater named the Ries crater in Germany. This gorgeous end piece displays very well and shows typical inclusions of glass bomb as the dark material and crystalline fragments visible throughout the specimen showing the stages of shock metamorphism.
It is amazingly light considering its mass of 130x109x37 mm. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.
This is a 418 gram impact melt rock from the Gallejaur Crater, northern 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.

Rocks, interpreted as impact generated lithologies, occur in a large area surrounding the Gallejaur magnetic structure at latitude 65°10/longitude 19°30 in northernmost Västerbotten County in northern Sweden. These rocks comprise a variety of different types of breccias: authigenic The Gallejaur structure is located in the central part of the Skellefte mining district in the Precambrian Baltic Shield. The ca. 1.9 Ga old Skellefte district is an extensively mineralized, mainly felsic, submarine volcanic belt. The rocks are described as impact-generated, have been called the Vargfors Group and overlie the Skellefte volcanics and sediments with an angular unconformity. The youngest rocks in the area, intruding the Skellefte district supracrustals and probably the impact-generated rock, are A/I-type granitoids belonging to the Revsund-Adak granite suite, which have been dated at ca. 1.80 to 1.78 Ga.
This great bookend slab displays very well. It has a mass of 94x84x48 mm. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.
This is a superb looking Stony-iron or Mesosiderite class C classified meteorite named Northwest Africa NWA 1879 . This specimen is a part slice weighing 4.16 grams with dimensions of 22x17x4 mm.
This is a quote from Mr Hupé : "This is the NWA 1879, a rare C type Mesosiderite found in 2003 in Northwest Africa. This stony-iron type meteorite is beautiful because it is very fresh, has crystal clusters scattered throughout its matrix and has a great deal of elemental metal. NWA 1879 weighed 1,624 grams before preparation. About 31% was lost during cutting and polishing. There are several pairings to this meteorite in existence so the Total Known Weight (TKW) is unknown.
No expense was spared in the preparation of this meteorite. It was cut using a diamond blade in oil so that the silicates would not be plucked. When cutting this way the blade had to be redressed constantly to prevent the iron from loading up the cutting medium. It was coarse polished using a diamond lap, which needed the same treatment as the blade. It was then soaked in pure ethyl alcohol for days to extract the oil introduced during the cutting and polishing phases. A final dry polish was applied by hand, a very time consuming process. The final step was to clean it again with pure ethyl alcohol and dry it under a heat lamp providing great looking and stable specimens. This specimen comes with an identification card from The Hupé Collection."
This part slice displays extremely well and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes protected in a gem jar with both a Canagem Collection and a The Hupé Collection specimen card.

Sodalite is usually found in the massive form, rather than crystals. Its name is derived from its sodium content. This stone is frequently found with lapis lazuli, but contains little or no golden pyrite specks in it as lapis does. It may, however, contain patches or streaks of white calcite. Although some people think that sodalite resembles lapis in some ways, it is entirely different in chemical composition and has more of a navy blue coloring.
