Here we have for you a large 56.6 gram superbly shaped Indochinite Tektite from Maoming City, Guangdong Province, China. It measures 60x29x28 mm.  Although not a meteorite, tektite is directly linked to them or their impacts, just consider its age of around 780,000 years old.

Tektite can still be interesting because of the persistent mystery has that resisted clear explanations of their creation for generations of geologists. 

This piece displays very well and is a very nice size showing multiple characteristics of its origin. It is a perfect elongated shape with a beautiful pitted body. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

Here we have for you a superb looking Dhofar 020 classified meteorite weighing 103.75 grams. Its dimensions are 67x49x32 mm.  Found 10 March 2000 in Dhofar, Oman, in the Arabian Peninsula this H4/5 classified chondrite has a TKW of 256 Kg with a shock stage of S4 and weathering grade of W3 by the Russian Academy of Sciences, USSR.

The following is an excerpt from Mark Bostick's review of this meteorite:  "Dhofar 020 is a ordinary stone chondrite meteorite. The meteorite is high in free metal and therefore falls in the H class. S4 tells it is highly shocked. Slices of the meteorite, show veins of the cosmic impact created mineral Ringwoodite, although fractures in the stone tend to hide this some. It almost appears to me to have splinted upon impact. The meteorite falls in 4-5 petrology class, a reference to how metamorphed the meteorite is from its original state. This is judged by studying a thin section of the meteorite, most visually at the chondrules, a feature unique to stone meteorite. In a thin section under polarized light, pyroxene chondrules seem more common then their olivine pair. Still some regions in the meteorite show scattered patches of bright olivine inclusions. These are fairly rare, at least on my thin section, and most of the meteorite's olivine and pyroxene, some of the easier things to see in a thin section, appear to have went through a metamorphism, and have "melted" into the matrix and are at times undistinguishable."

This piece displays extremely well showing a beautiful crust, superb shape and good size. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a fabulous specimen of Black kyanite and quartz mined in Marilac, Safira pegmatite district, Eastern Brazilian pegmatite province, Minas Gerais, Brazil.  The specimen will sit perfectly flat to allow easy display in a favorable position.

Kyanite is a silicate mineral and is known to be one of the most attractive natural minerals in the world, frequently found with lustrous bladed crystals, with the intensity of color varying by location of extraction. Kyanite regularly forms fibrous, radiating crystals, as well as flattened and tabular. Some crystals form with white striations, color bands, and even multi-colored crystals, though typically found with a deep blue streak running down the middle.

The Lead–Zinc deposits of Madan Ore Field (Southwest Rhodopy Mountains) were operated by the Turks in the Middle Ages. Greek coins from Tassos island dating from 14th century AD, have been found in the ancient galleries. As well, the name of the Madan field, which in Turkish means Ore, originates from that time. 

The Madan Ore Field is built up mainly of the highly crystalline rocks of the lower (Ar) and upper (Pt) metamorphic units which form the Madan dome structure. The Lead–Zinc deposits of the Madan Ore Field are represented by: 1. Ore veins of Quartz–Carbonate–Sulphide composition, and 2. Metasomatic scarn deposits of Johannsenite–Rhodonite or Quartz–Sulphide composition.

This top specimen is in very good condition. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

Awesome variscite ball on quartz matrix with good luster.  From a rare location Wiśniówka Wielka in Poland.  Wisniowka is a village located near Kielce in Holly Cross Mountains. Cambrian quarzite sandstones occur there. Trace fossils of trilobite Olenus rarus Orlovskii as well as Diplocraterion and Bergaueria perata can be found in this area. Wiśniówka Wielka is also a well known locality of beautiful crystals of Variscite and Wavellite

This is a quality specimen and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing rock collection.  EX Galleria GeoCentrum Poland

This is a Microcline and Quartz Crystal Minera from type locality in Poland.  Microcline is one of the most common feldspar minerals. It can be colorless, white, cream to pale yellow, salmon pink to red, or bright green to blue-green. Microcline forms short prismatic or tabular crystals that are often of considerable size: single crystals can weigh several tons and reach yards in length.

Crystals are often multiply twinned, with two sets of fine lines at right angles to each other. This gives a plaid effect that is unique to microcline among the feldspars.  The nice patch of Quartz crystals makes this a spectacular piece. 

This is a quality specimen that would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing rock collection. EX Galeria GeoCentrum Poland

This is an attractive specimen consisting of natural pale gray transparent crystals of Calcite on a green crystal matrix from Morocco.  Very beautiful material.

Calcite is found throughout the world in sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks. Some geologists consider it to be a "ubiquitous mineral" - one that is found everywhere. Calcite is the principal constituent of limestone and marble.

Celestite, also known as celestine, typically ranges in color from light blue to pale blue, though it can also be colorless, white, or shades of yellow and pink.  Celestite is a strontium sulfate mineral which crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal system, typically forming well-defined, prismatic crystals.  This celestite specimen is a nice example of a prismatic crystal form.

Celestite is often associated with calming energy and is believed to aid in meditation and spiritual development. It is said to promote mental clarity and enhance communication with higher realms.

This is an incredible Korra Korrabes meteorite end cut of 24.1 grams, it measures 37x27x22 mm. This gorgeous classified meteorite is an H3 Chondrite and part of a 22 kg stone plus 11 smaller pieces totaling ~18 kg that were found November 1996 in a dry river bed by a farmer who was searching for Gibeon irons.

People searching with metal detectors recovered hundreds of additional buried, more weathered pieces within 50 m of the original material since 2000 November, bringing the total mass to ~120–130 kg. The largest specimen was used in a garden wall until August 2000.

This amazing piece was professionally prepared and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.
