Zircon comes in a variety of colors, including blue, yellow, green, brown, and red, and is renowned for its exceptional brilliance.  It is found in many locations worldwide, including Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Cambodia, and Australia. Some of the oldest zircon crystals have been dated to be over 4 billion years old, making them among the oldest minerals on Earth.

Zircon has a hardness of 6.5 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, making it durable enough for use in various types of jewelry. However, care should be taken to avoid sharp blows and extreme temperatures.

Zircon is associated with promoting spiritual growth, mental clarity, and prosperity. It is also thought to enhance self-confidence and provide protection.

It's important to note the distinction between natural zircon and cubic zirconia. Natural zircon is a genuine gemstone, while cubic zirconia is a synthetic material often used as a diamond simulant.

Rainforest Jasper is a unique gemstone known for its vibrant colors and intricate patterns.  Also referred to as Rainforest Rhyolite, it is a type of volcanic rock that belongs to the Rhyolite family. It is primarily composed of silica-rich minerals, including quartz and feldspar, which contribute to its striking appearance. The stone typically features a mix of greens, browns, creams, and occasional reds, forming intricate, mosaic-like patterns.  Rainforest Jasper forms through the solidification of rhyolitic lava, which traps gas bubbles filled with siliceous materials during the cooling process. This results in the unique patterns and colors characteristic of the stone.  It is predominantly found in Queensland, Australia, where it is mined from volcanic deposits. . 

Rainforest jasper is believed to promote a deep connection to nature, emotional balance, and personal renewal, carrying a gentle, grounding energy that supports growth and transformation. Associated with the heart chakra, it’s thought to encourage compassion, joy, and optimism while helping release old emotional patterns, reduce stress, and inspire creativity and a fresh perspective.

This is a nice 1.75 gram Seymchan Iron meteorite part slice measuring 21x11x5 mm. The meteorite was found in 1967 in a brook-bed flowing into the river of Hekandue, a left tributary of the river of Jasachnaja of the Magadan district, USSR. It is classified as an Iron Pallasite main group and is 1 of only 48 approved meteorites classified as such, with a recovered weight of about 323 Kg.

This piece was nicely prepared, it is very stable and will remain like this for years to come with minimal care. This piece displays extremely well 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.

This is a fantastic crusted 4.3 grams NWA (Northwest Africa) 869L3-6 classified meteorite Individual found by Nomads in the Sahara Desert. The dimensions of the specimen are 18x14x14 mm.

NWA 869 classified meteorites can still be interesting and this one is for sure perfectly shaped to catch your attention. It displays a superb crust on most of its surface.  Most 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).

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

Chabazite is known for its distinctive crystal structure and its occurrence in a variety of geological environments. Its crystal structure consists of interconnected channels and cavities.  Chabazite is found in various locations around the world, including Italy, Iceland, Scotland, the Faroe Islands, the United States (especially in the Pacific Northwest), Canada, India, and Australia. Different localities may produce chabazite crystals with varying colors and characteristics.

This chabazite crystal is from Wasson’s Bluff, Nova Scotia, Canada.  Wasson's Bluff is recognized as producing great specimens with colors varying from pink to orange to red.  This zone has seen collection of specimens almost exhausted due to the ground erosion.  This particular specimen is a lovely orangey color and is in very good condition.  Make this a special specimen in your collection. 

Name: Chabazite (2 Clusters)
Specimen Size:  Thumbnail-Sized
Dimensions:  21x19x8 mm & 17x14x12 mm
Weight:  6.8 grams / 0.2 oz
Origin: Wasson’s Bluff, Two Islands, Nova Scotia Canada

This is a rare and fantastic 5.2 gram Libyan Desert Glass from Kuffra, Libya, with dimensions of 31x19x13 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.

Pseudomorphs are mineral specimens that have the external shape of one mineral but are composed of another.  The pseudomorph goethite after marcasite forms when marcasite is exposed to oxidizing conditions and starts to oxidize and break down. As the marcasite breaks down, goethite replaces it in the crystal structure, preserving the shape of the original marcasite crystal. The resulting specimen appears as a marcasite crystal, but is actually composed of goethite.

The Farafra Oasis, in the White Desert, has been known for a number of years to deliver incredible pseudomorph specimens. The pseudomorphs occur within the Cretaceous Khoman Chalk, from which the White Desert derives its name.

This specimen is remarkable for its relatively sharp and bladed marcasite crystal form.  It is in excellent condition.
