Okenite is a silicate mineral that is usually associated with zeolites. It most commonly is found as small white "cotton ball" formations within basalt geodes. These formations are clusters of straight, radiating, fibrous crystals that are both bendable and fragile.

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.

Quartz crystals are among the most abundant and well-known minerals on Earth. It belongs to the hexagonal crystal system, and typically forms six-sided prismatic crystals with a pointed termination. Its crystals can be colorless or exhibit a wide range of colors. The color variations are often due to the presence of impurities or trace elements during the crystal's formation. Quartz is transparent to translucent. 

Prehnite can form prismatic, tabular, or pyramidal crystals, but usually occurs in botryoidal, reniform, stalactitic, granular, or compact habits.  It is usually green in colour, but may be white, colourless, yellow, or gray.  It has a colourless streak.  Prehnite is transparent to translucent, with a vitreous to pearly luster.  Prehnite forms in cavities in basaltic lavas.

This is a superb looking part-slice of a Selma classified meteorite weighing 7.4 grams. Its dimensions are 34x17x5 mm. This rare vintage H4 classified meteorite was found in Dallas County, Alabama USA in 1906. The total weight of the single stone recovered is recorded as 140.6 Kg and, at the time, was the largest meteorite found in the United States. It was purchased by the American Museum of Natural History (New York).

This piece is part of America's history and a vintage specimen of great importance for the collector of ancient material. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a ELKK Meteorites and a Canagem Collection specimen cards.

This is a great looking Northwest Africa 2949 basaltic eucrite classified meteorite slice weighing 9.7 grams. Its dimensions are 43x38x3 mm. 

This basaltic achondrite eucrite classified meteorite was found in the Sahara Desert in 2005 and is 1 of 468 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 a Canagem specimen card. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

This is a 418 gram impact melt rock from the Gallejaur Crater, northern Sweden.  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.

Rocks, interpreted as impact generated lithologies, occur in a large area surrounding the Gallejaur magnetic structure at latitude 65°10/longitude 19°30 in northernmost Västerbotten County in northern Sweden. These rocks comprise a variety of different types of breccias: authigenic The Gallejaur structure is located in the central part of the Skellefte mining district in the Precambrian Baltic Shield. The ca. 1.9 Ga old Skellefte district is an extensively mineralized, mainly felsic, submarine volcanic belt.  The rocks are described as impact-generated, have been called the Vargfors Group and overlie the Skellefte volcanics and sediments with an angular unconformity.  The youngest rocks in the area, intruding the Skellefte district supracrustals and probably the impact-generated rock, are A/I-type granitoids belonging to the Revsund-Adak granite suite, which have been dated at ca. 1.80 to 1.78 Ga.

This great bookend slab displays very well.  It has a mass of 94x84x48 mm.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a fabulous fresh Ghubara meteorite whole fragment weighing 53.6 grams and measuring 50x32x27mm. This meteorite was found in Oman, Southern Arabia in 1954 and is classified as an L5 Stony Black Chondrite.

This piece displays extremely well and is a very desirable size showing multiple characteristics of its time spent in space until it came crashing to earth.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This Serandite and Analcime specimen comes from the Poudrette Quarry at Mount Saint-Hilaire and displays nice terminated crystals. The specimen also has some intersecting black aegirine crystals.

Serandite is the signature mineral of Mont Saint-Hilaire and is the most sought-after species coming from that locality.  A great looking translucent, colorless analcime crystal is also an excellent specimen from the world renowned location that is MSH. This beautiful crystal cluster would be a great addition to any new or existing collection.

This is a nice end cut of the Northwest Africa 978 meteorite. This is another of the great and rare meteorites from the Sahara. It is classified as a Stone, Chondrite Rumurutiite, (R3.8). This meteorite was found in 2001 in many fragments and small individuals, very fresh but sandblasted, for a low TKW of 722 grams. The Shock stage is registered at 3 and the Weathering grade at 2.

It is one of the rarest meteorite types with only 9 Rumuruti 3.8 type meteorites known,  most being found in Antarctica. This unique group of chondrites has basically no FeNi-metal in comparison to other chondrite groups. The R chondrites also have the highest 17O value of any other solar system material. This piece weighs 5.02 grams an measures 31x18x8mm. Note the flat edge of this piece is crusted, it is not a cut surface.
