This is a large and incredible specimen combining Apophyllite and Stilbite.  There our multiple double terminated Apophyllite crystals on this specimen.  It is truly amazing.

One of the distinguishing features of apophyllite is its ability to form well-defined crystals with a pyramid-like shape. These crystals often exhibit a prismatic or pseudo-cubic habit and have a vitreous luster. Apophyllite is transparent to translucent and is commonly found in colorless or white varieties, although it can also occur in shades of green, pink, yellow, or brown.

Stilbite is a zeolite mineral appreciated for its delicate crystal formations and pastel hues, ranging from colorless to white, yellow, pink, and peach.  It forms distinctive tabular crystals with a bowtie or butterfly shape and exhibits a vitreous to pearly luster. Commonly found in cavities in volcanic rocks, stilbite is associated with other zeolite minerals. It is valued for its aesthetic appeal and is believed by some to have calming energy, supporting spiritual growth and emotional healing.

This is a very desirable crystal, it's clear and very showy on both sides of the matrix. Mined by hand, Himalayan Quartz Crystals are found at altitudes of 10,000 to 15,000 feet, high up in the Himalayan Mountains in an area near the border of Tibet and Nepal. These deposits might be the oldest deposits known in the world. The locals believe that these crystals are the “Eyes of God “ and that they hold the knowledge and wisdom of all past yogis and saints of the Buddhist and Hindu traditions. These crystals are carried on their backs by sherpas for great distances over and down the mountain trails to reach civilization.

Due to these facts, very few crystals ever reach the marketplace so they are much sought after by collectors.

Himalayan Quartz Crystals are a stone of power, amplifying energy and intention; they raise one’s consciousness towards enlightenment. The crystals help to shield one from negativity and aid in accessing past and future lives and realities.

Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

Malachite is perhaps the one of the most popular minerals for collectors, as its rich patterned coloration in shades of green is unique among gems. It is a beautiful decorative stone. Malachite’s low hardness makes it easy to work, though it still takes a polish very well. These qualities, combined with ready availability, make malachite a popular choice for lapidary artistry. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

This is a stunning specimen of calcite cubes on mordenite druse.  The crystals are well defined and look beautiful together.

Calcite is found throughout the world in sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks. Some geologists consider it to be a "ubiquitous mineral" - one that is found everywhere. Calcite is the principal constituent of limestone and marble. 

Mordenite was first described in 1864 by Henry How. He named it after the small community of Morden, Nova Scotia, Canada, along the Bay of Fundy, where it was first found.  It is one of the most abundant zeolites and is found in volcanic rock such as rhyolite, andesite, and basalt. It is associated with other zeolites such as stilbite and heulandite.

This is a superb looking Dhofar 947 classified meteorite weighing 38.40 grams. Its dimensions are 97x49x6 mm.

This L5-6 classified meteorite was found in Oman in 2002. The total known weight of the single piece recovered is recorded as an incredibly low 170 grams; the meteorite has a shock stage of 3 and weathering grade of 2.

This piece displays extremely well as it was professionally cut in a way to expose the interior and allow it to sit perfectly on a table.  The cut faces are polished to allow a clear view of this beautiful and rare material.  There are just over 40 kilos recorded worldwide of various classified L5-6 meteorites and you will own approximately a quarter of this rare find that is the Dho 947.

This will be a high end addition to any new or existing collection. This specimen will come with a Canagem Collection specimen card and the original specimen card from the Carsten Giessler Collection (GipoMeteorites).

This is a superb Dhofar 221 classified meteorite weighing 142.8 grams and measuring 66x50x38 mm. This L5 classified meteorite was found in Zufar, Oman in 2000; it has a shock stage of 3 and weathering grade of 3. The total weight of the 100's of pieces recovered is recorded as a low 3.54 kg.

This piece displays extremely well because of its beautiful crust, superb shape and size. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a great looking Northwest Africa 2949 basaltic eucrite classified meteorite end cut weighing 20 grams. Its dimensions are 45x25x13 mm. 

This basaltic achondrite eucrite classified meteorite was found in the Sahara Desert in 2005 and is 1 of 616 approved meteorites classified as such. The total weight of the 5 recovered pieces is recorded as a low 1365 grams.

This piece displays extremely well with a beautiful crusted exterior and is a nice size showing multiple characteristics of the type of material, exhibiting excellent clasts within the matrix. The matrix is a fine grain containing shocked eucritic inclusions. Beautiful grey matrix with nice clear inclusions.   The three groups collectively known as HED meteorites(howardites, eucrites and diogenites) may come from asteroid 4 Vesta.

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

This is a superb looking Stony-iron or Mesosiderite Vaca Muerta (Dead Cow) classified meteorite weighing 40.52 grams. Its dimensions are 32x28x18 mm.

This classified meteorite was found in 1861 in the driest desert of the world called the Atacama, in Chile. Mesosiderites are formed on the surface of a parent body as a result of impacts with another body. The impact mixed broken fragments of surface eucrites with iron and olivine from deep within the body. Eucrites are believed to have come from the asteroid Vesta. Analysis has shown, however, that the Vaca Muerta eucrite inclusions are not consistent with other eucrites and possibly originated on a different parent body. Although most have a weathered exterior, they also have lots of metal inside and can be prepared and cut to show this.

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

Here we have for you a superb looking Dhofar 020 classified meteorite weighing 159.67 grams. Its dimensions are 111x56x26 mm.  Found 10 March 2000 in Dhofar, Oman, in the Arabian Peninsula this H4/5 classified chondrite has a TKW of 256 Kg with a shock stage of S4 and weathering grade of W3 by the Russian Academy of Sciences, USSR.

The following is an excerpt from Mark Bostick's review of this meteorite:  "Dhofar 020 is a ordinary stone chondrite meteorite. The meteorite is high in free metal and therefore falls in the H class. S4 tells it is highly shocked. Slices of the meteorite, show veins of the cosmic impact created mineral Ringwoodite, although fractures in the stone tend to hide this some. It almost appears to me to have splinted upon impact. The meteorite falls in 4-5 petrology class, a reference to how metamorphed the meteorite is from its original state. This is judged by studying a thin section of the meteorite, most visually at the chondrules, a feature unique to stone meteorite. In a thin section under polarized light, pyroxene chondrules seem more common then their olivine pair. Still some regions in the meteorite show scattered patches of bright olivine inclusions. These are fairly rare, at least on my thin section, and most of the meteorite's olivine and pyroxene, some of the easier things to see in a thin section, appear to have went through a metamorphism, and have "melted" into the matrix and are at times undistinguishable."

This piece displays extremely well showing a beautiful crust, superb shape and good size. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.
