This is a 154.3tcw lot of beautiful rough emeralds.  There are 24 pieces that range in size from approximately 8x6-25x16 mm.  This is the exact lot that you will receive.  

Ancient Romans associated the emerald with Venus, the goddess of love and beauty.   They firmly believed that this stone's purity was so strong that no evil presence could exist around it.

Emerald is connected to the heart chakra.  It is said to bring about great love and promote happiness and faithfulness in a relationship.

Fulgurite, also known as “fossilized lightning”, are natural glass tubes or formations that are created by the heat of lightning strikes.  When a lightning bolt hits the ground it generates temperatures of up to 30,000 Kelvin (over 53,000°F), hotter than the surface of the sun. This intense heat melts the silica rich sand and fuses it almost instantly, forming hollow branching structures that solidify as they cool.  In the Sahara Desert where thunderstorms occasionally roll in across the desert, these cooled formations can be found beneath the sand. 

The fulgurites from the Sahara Desert are special because of their environment. The desert’s quartz rich sand is the perfect material for these glassy formations. Over time the wind blown sand often buries and preserves these delicate formations protecting them from erosion. Fulgurites are scientifically important because they trap the energy of the lightning and often preserve the composition of the atmosphere at the time of their creation. They are valuable to researchers studying geophysical processes and past climate conditions. And with their irregular shapes and glassy texture they are a sought after collectible for mineral enthusiasts and natural history museums. Of note, since Fulgurite is created by an impact of lightning hitting the ground, it cannot be called impactite as it is not created by a meteoritic event. 

Fulgurite is often considered a symbol of transformation, energy, and connection to the divine, primarily due to its association with lightning.  Some believe fulgurite carries the power of lightning itself—acting as a conduit between the physical and spiritual realms. It's said to help with spiritual awakening or to encourage personal growth by clearing blockages, especially when it comes to energy flow or communication with higher states of consciousness. Because of its fiery origins, it can be seen as a tool to help ignite creativity or insight, as lightning strikes are associated with sudden inspiration or illumination.

This is an outstanding Impact Melt Glass specimen or bomb weighing 2.51 grams.  Its dimensions are 21x19x15 mm.  Although not a meteorite, impactites are directly linked to them and their impacts.

This Henbury glass, or more specifically vesicular impactite, was found in the Northern Territory of Australia. Thirteen craters were found 8 miles southwest of the town of Henbury, the largest of which was 720 x 360 feet.  Henbury impactite was formed by a meteorite impact that occurred around 4,700 years ago. The meteorite is believed to have exploded upon entering the Earth's atmosphere, creating multiple craters which produced the impact glass.

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 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 piece displays extremely well.  It is amazingly light considering its mass.  It has a unique hollow sound when you tap it.  This Australian find is very well shaped and preserved. These pieces are becoming more difficult to acquire so this is a good time to get a fine specimen.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.  Will come with a Canagem specimen card.

This is a nice looking individual Sahara Desert NWA unclassified meteorite. It weighs 7.2 grams and measures 22x22x13 mm. This never classified Northwest Africa stone was found in the Sahara desert around 2004.

It's a good quality NWA meteorite end cut. 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 lot of small tumbled individual NWA unclassified meteorites from the Sahara Desert.  Because they have been tumbled, you can clearly see the metal within the specimens. The total weight of the lot is 8 grams and the meteorites range in size from 9 to 17 mm.  This never classified North West Africa stone was found in the Sahara desert around 2000.

These small individual specimens are great as teaching tools in the home or in the classroom, or as gifts.   They can also be used for science projects and other types craft displays. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a rare and fantastic 15 gram Libyan Desert Glass from Kuffra, Libya, with dimensions of 32x23x21 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.
