Here we have for you a nice looking end cut of a Sahara Desert NWA unclassified meteorite weighing 23.6 grams. Its dimensions are 45x22x15m. This never classified North West Africa stone was found in the Sahara desert around 2000.

It's a good quality cut NWA meteorite specimens showing interesting internal structure (L5?) and somewhat attractive with a mottled interior with chondrules and metallic flakes. Some weathering shows the meteorite's time spent aging in the desert. 

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

This is a fabulous 1.43 gram Huckitta PAL stony iron classified meteorite part slice, with dimensions of 14x10x3 mm.  This superb meteorite was found in Arapunya Stn., Northern Territory, Australia in 1924.  The total known weight is > 2,300 kg. 

Even though the iron of this ancient meteorite has changed into meteorite shale due to its millions of years of exposure on earth, it still shows the beautiful pallasite structure it is famous for and will also react strongly to a magnet.

This piece displays extremely well, showing great features. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

On March 4^th, 1960 at 1:06 a.m., a bright fireball, now know as the Bruderheim Meteorite, tore through Earth's atmosphere above Central Alberta. The space rock travelled at 42 kilometres per second, its flash witnessed by hundreds of people as far away as the Rocky Mountain region of British Columbia. The giant rock detonated, creating a sound shock wave audible over 5,000 square kilometres. The sonic boom rattled windows, shook the foundations of homes, and startled families from their sleep. Shards of the stone rained down just north of Bruderheim, some forming pits as deep as 30 centimetres, many rebounding off the frozen ground and landing on the snow.

Based on eye-witness reports, it is believed that the meteorite was first observed by Alexis Simon, a resident of the Paul’s Band Indian Reserve at Duffield, Alberta. He noted the north-easterly direction of the rock, its swift speed, and that it looked like it was giving off ‘flashes of fire’. He also described a rushing sound that resembled a high wind and lasted about 5 seconds after the fireball passed.

Hundreds of grit- and pebble-sized fragments were collected off of river ice. Undoubtedly many thousands of small fragments were not seen against the black dirt of fields and plowed under as farmers prepared to seed their crops.

Nearly 700 meteorite fragments were found with a total weight of over 660 pounds—making it the largest recovered fall in Canadian history.  This nice crusted part slice specimen will be a prized item in your collection. 

This hard to acquire piece is a high quality specimen that would make an amazing addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Jensen Meteorites and a Canagem Collection specimen cards.

Name: Shelburne
Date - Fall:  August 13, 1904 ~ 08:00 pm  **Historical**
Class:  Chondrite L5
Weight:  Fragment 66 mg
Origin: Shelburne, Ontario, Canada

"Only one piece of the strange visitor has, so far as we have heard at time of writing, been found. It is a 12.5-pound chunk which struck the ground within a couple of feet of the verandah on the residence of John Shields, about three miles from Shelburne and Horning’s Mills, spattering earth up against the side of the house and imbedding itself to the depth of 18 inches.  The stone was dug out of the ground on Monday morning and brought to town, and it has since been on exhibition in the window of Jelly and White's hardware store, where it has been viewed by a whole shoal of people." - Shelburne Economist, 18 August 1904

Shelbourne is an L5 veined chondrite from Canada. Rarely are Canadian meteorites other than Bruderheim or Abee offered to the public, especially when outside Canada. The restrictive laws governing the ownership and transfer of Canadian meteorites in Canada make this a special chance to own a sample of Shelbourne. Don't miss your chance to add this rarely offered and historical location to your collection. Specimen is accompanied by a collection label from the Martin Horejsi Meteorite Collection

Here we have for you a great looking two part cut of a Sahara Desert NWA unclassified meteorite weighing 13.9 grams. Its dimensions are 32x17x13 mm. This never classified North West Africa stone was found in Erfoud, Morocco in the Sahara desert in 2002.

It's a very good quality cut NWA meteorite specimen showing incredibly  interesting internal structure (L5?) and somewhat attractive with a mottled interior with chondrules and metallic flakes. This complete cut has very large iron inclusions, many chondrules and a nice black fusion crust.  Little weathering shows the meteorite's short time spent aging in the desert preserving a nice crusted look. Displays very nicely with a clean cut and polished finish.

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

This is a rare and fantastic 5 gram Libyan Desert Glass from Kuffra, Libya, with dimensions of 27x19x12 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 is a whole, uncut lava coated volcanic bombs from Mortlake, Victoria, Australia .  On this specimen, there are beautiful iridescent olivine crystals growing on the outside of the lava crust.  This piece is complete and can be showcased as is or it can be opened  to show the interior. The lava is most likely covering green olivine crystals.

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.

Name: Olivine Crystal Bomb
Specimen Size:  Cabinet-Sized
Dimensions: 69x39x28 mm / 2.7x1.5x1.1 Inches 
Weight: 62 Grams / 2.2 Ounces

This is a fantastic crusted 5.1 grams NWA (Northwest Africa) 869 L3-6 classified meteorite individual found by Nomads in the Sahara Desert. The dimensions of the specimen are 21x14x10 mm.  This specimen comes from the Hupé Collection.

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).

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.

These specimens are remarkable for their relatively sharp marcasite crystal forms in aesthetic crystal clusters. They are in excellent condition.  This collector's specimen is unique, of great quality and ready for display.

Specimen Size:  Miniature-Sized
Dimensions:  40x36x24  mm / 1.6x1.4x0.9 inches
