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 great 30.2 gram Impact Melt Breccia from the Gardnos Crater in Norway.  It is amazingly light considering its mass of 48x40x12mm. Although not a meteorite, impactites are directly linked to them and their impacts and are probably going to be one of the rarest collection item 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 impactite was formed between 385 and 900 million years ago in Precambrian time when a meteorite crashed into the earth making a ~5 kilometers wide crater locally known as the Hallingdal Impact Crater. 

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

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

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).

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

This is a great 99.69 gram Impact Melt Breccia from the Gardnos crater in Norway.  It is amazingly light considering its mass of 91x51x13mm. Although not a meteorite, impactites are directly linked to them and their impacts and are probably going to be one of the rarest collection item 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.

This impactite was formed between 385 and 900 million years ago in Precambrian time when a meteorite crashed into the earth making a ~5 kilometers wide crater locally known as the Hallingdal Impact Crater. This gorgeous black and white slice displays very well with one side expertly polished and the other left untouched.

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.

This is an incredible part slice of the Abee meteorite (MB 8) that fell in Alberta, Canada at 11:05 p.m. on June 9th 1952.  It took five days to find it in a wheat field belonging to Mr. Harry Buryn.  It is located in the community of Abee, Alberta, Canada in Thorhild County, along the Canadian National Railway and Highway 63, 16 km north of Thorhild and 49 km from Boyle.

This rare and highly collectable EH4 Enstatite chondrite is 1 of only 21 approved meteorites classified as such, 1 of 3 being an observed fall and only 1 of 5 not found in Antarctica. The total Mass is registered at 107 Kilograms in one stone recovered from a 6 ft (1.8 m) deep crater.  This is a great specimen at .31 grams.

This hard to acquire piece is a high quality specimen that would make an amazing addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with an official COA from the New England Meteoritical Services, a Michael Farmer Meteorites and a Canagem Collection specimen card and is protected in a display box.

Origin: Brazil

Ametrine is a gemstone that is a combination of amethyst and citrine, which are both varieties of quartz. It displays a beautiful blend of purple and yellow colors due to the presence of iron impurities. The name "ametrine" is derived from the combination of "amethyst" and "citrine."  Ametrine is relatively rare compared to other gemstones and is mainly found in Bolivia, although it can also be found in smaller quantities in Brazil, Uruguay, and India.

Ametrine combines the calming and spiritual properties of amethyst with the energizing and uplifting qualities of citrine. This combination is thought to promote balance, harmony, and mental clarity. Ametrine is also associated with creativity, confidence, and overall well-being.

Green kyanite gemstones are a beautiful and relatively rare variety of kyanite, a mineral valued for its attractive color and crystal structure.  Green kyanite gemstones exhibit various shades of green, ranging from pale to deep hues. The color is typically caused by trace amounts of chromium or vanadium within the crystal lattice. The intensity and saturation of the green color can vary, with some stones displaying a vibrant, vivid green and others a more subtle, earthy tone.
