Here we have for you a nice looking end cut of a Sahara Desert NWA unclassified meteorite weighing 110.2 grams. Its dimensions are 56x34x23mm. This never classified North West Africa stone was found in the Sahara desert around 2000.

It's a good quality individual cut fragment NWA meteorite specimen. 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 7.8 gram Impact Melt Rock from the Dhala Impact Structure, India. It measures 39x26x5 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 slice displays very well.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a nice .67 gram fragment of the Tatahouine meteorite which is classified as a stone achondrite, Diogenite (ADIO) Ca-poor.  This rare meteorite fell on June 27, 1931 at 0130 hours about 2 1/2 mi. NE of the village of Foum Tatahouine, Tunisia. 

This rare Diogenite broke into thousands of small fragments, most no larger than a gram. The large mass broke up near the earth's surface and as a result fusion crust is virtually absent, making this a difficult meteorite to recognize. If it had not been witnessed, it most likely would never have been found. Tatahouine is one of a few meteorites that is only available in small sizes, most are under 1 gram.

This piece is a very desirable type of material and a great specimen all around. The specimen is accompanied by two specimen cards, a Dean Bessey The Meteorite Shop and a Canagem® Collection card. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

This is a superb and rare Iron ungrouped classified Taza NWA 859 specimen and is an oriented bullet shaped specimen weighing 2.41 grams. Its dimensions are 16x7x5 mm.  

The NWA 859 was found in 2001 in Taza, Morocco.  A total weight of 75.3 kg of mostly small pieces was classified by UCLA as an Iron, ungrouped and is one of 157 meteorites classified as such. 

This bullet displays extremely well and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with both a Canagem Collection and a PolandMet Meteorites specimen card.

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.

Ammolite is an opal-like organic gemstone found primarily along the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains of North America. It is made of the fossilized shells of ammonites, which in turn are composed primarily of aragonite, the same mineral contained in nacre, with a microstructure inherited from the shell.  It is one of few biogenic gemstones; others include amber and pearl. In 1981, the year commercial mining of ammolite began, ammolite was given official gemstone status by the World Jewellery Confederation.

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 piece has been cut to showcase the beautiful green olivine crystals.  It would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

We have for you a large Duckbill style gypsum var Selenite from world famous Red River Floodway in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada.  This is a large floater gypsum crystal cluster that occurred in the Pleistocene Age in Lake Agassiz clay. The distribution of the gypsum covers a 20 kilometer wide area, but the Floodway is one of the few excavations in the very flat terrain deep enough to intersect the gypsum layer.

The Red River Floodway has become famous, not only for its engineering marvel but also for the extremely unusual selenite specimens that were discovered during excavations. The formation is due to two generations of growth with the first growth forming near-spherical rosettes of stout intergrown crystals and the second growth, that made them famous, grew large golden crystals with a unique twinning shape that resembled a duck’s bill. These “duckbill” selenites are famous the world over and have found nowhere else in the world to date and collecting is now carefully controlled. Specimens range from having a single crystal, to having many radiating from the rosette. Some rare examples have two rosettes conjoined in striking formations. This specimen is in excellent condition.

Name: Gypsum var. Selenite
Specimen Size:  Miniature-Size 
Dimensions:  51x36X39 mm / 2.0x1.4X1.5 inches
Weight:   55.3 grams / 1.9 oz
