This amazing specimen of Vesuvianite was collected in the now closed Jeffery Mine, Asbestos, Quebec, Canada. The specimen is made up of a combination of green and mauve vesuvianite crystals. 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 Adamite Crystals on Matrix mined in Mapimi, Durango, Mexico.  Adamite typically occur as small, brightly colored, prismatic or blocky crystals, or as crusts or aggregates. It is commonly found in association with other minerals such as limonite, calcite, and smithsonite.  Adamite colors include green, yellow, white, and reddish-brown. The green color of adamite is caused by the presence of traces of copper in its crystal structure.  One of the unique features of adamite is its strong fluorescence under ultraviolet (UV) light. It can exhibit vibrant green or yellow fluorescence.

Adamite was first discovered in 1866 in the Ojuela Mine in Durango, Mexico. It was named after French mineralogist Gilbert-Joseph Adam (1795-1881), who studied the mineralogy of the mine.

Adamite is associated with joy, creativity, and the balancing of energies. Some believe it can enhance one's ability to express themselves and promote a positive outlook.  It is highly valued by collectors for its bright colors and distinctive crystal habits and would be a great addition to any new or existing collection.

An olivine volcanic bomb is a type of volcanic rock that contains olivine crystals and has been ejected during a volcanic eruption. Olivine is a mineral that is commonly found in the Earth's mantle and is one of the first minerals to crystallize as magma cools.

Volcanic bombs are large clots of lava that are ejected from a volcano during an explosive eruption. They can vary in size, and their shapes are often streamlined due to their molten nature as they are thrown through the air. When these volcanic bombs contain olivine crystals, they are referred to as olivine volcanic bombs.

This is a 21.4 gram Impact Melt Rock from the Dhala Impact Structure, India. It measures 63x29x15 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 11 km-diameter highly eroded Dhala impact structure in India. The Dhala structure has an estimated age of about 2Ga (2,000 Ma), making it the third oldest terrestrial impact structure.

This gorgeous end cut displays very well.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

Smithsonite can occur in a variety of colors, including white, grey, blue, green, pink, brown, and yellow. Its coloration is often influenced by impurities present during its formation. The crystals can be transparent to translucent, with a vitreous to pearly luster.  It commonly occurs as botryoidal (rounded, globular masses resembling a bunch of grapes) or reniform (kidney-shaped) aggregates. It can also form crusts, stalactites, and stalagmites.  Significant deposits of smithsonite have been found in various countries, including the United States, Mexico, Australia, Namibia, Greece, and China.

Name: Tagish Lake
Date - Fall:  18 January 2000 at 08:43 pst 
Class:  Carbonaceous chondrite (C2, ungrouped)
Weight:  Fragment 41 mg
Origin: Tagish Lake, British Columbia , Canada

This is a nice fragment of the Tagish Lake meteorite. On 18 January 2000 at 08:43 local time a huge fireball followed by loud detonations was widely observed over the Yukon Territory and northern British Columbia. An individual, Jim Brook, recovered several dozen meteorites totaling ~1 kg on the ice of Taku Arm, Tagish Lake, on January 25 and 26. The total mass collected was between 5 and 10 kg most of which is in permanent institutional storage.

Very little of this material is available and what is available is in very small fragments.  This is a nice piece that weighs 41 milligrams.  Based on mineralogy, isotopic compositions, and bulk chemical compositions, Tagish Lake appears to be intermediate between CM and CI chondrites. It has significantly less amino acids than expected and it may be a very primitive carbonaceous chondrite, class C2 ungr. 

Don't miss your chance to add this rarely offered location to your collection. Specimen is accompanied by a Canagem Meteorite Collection specimen card and is housed in a display box.
