This colorful carved gemstone sculpture, utilizing the naturally occurring maroon ruby and pale green zoisite combination, depicts a beautiful frog.  The artist from Thailand has sculpted the frog in a set position providing some nice detail and optimizing the color for the shape of the sculpture.

Ruby is the second hardest stone after diamond so few artists have managed to successfully work this mineral since it requires a very advanced technique for carving and polishing.  This carving reflects the artist's hard work to show the beauty of both the stone and the subject.  A must have in your collection.

This gorgeous classified meteorite is an H3 Chondrite and part of a 22 kg stone plus 11 smaller pieces totaling ~18 kg that were found November 1996 in a dry river bed by a farmer who was searching for Gibeon irons.

Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz, which is a mineral composed of silicon and oxygen. It is one of the most popular gemstones due to its beautiful color.  Amethyst ranges in color from light purple to deep violet. The color is caused by impurities of iron within the quartz crystal.  Amethyst can be found in various locations around the world, including Brazil, Uruguay, Russia, Zambia, and the United States.

Amethyst is believed to enhance spiritual awareness, ward off negative energies, promote balance and relaxation, and improve intuitive and psychic abilities. Amethyst is also thought to enhance mental clarity and focus.

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.  Laumontite is a member of the zeolite group, and occurs in many of the zeolite deposits.

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.

Zircon comes in a variety of colors, including blue, yellow, green, brown, and red, and is renowned for its exceptional brilliance.  It is found in many locations worldwide, including Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Cambodia, and Australia. Some of the oldest zircon crystals have been dated to be over 4 billion years old, making them among the oldest minerals on Earth.

Zircon has a hardness of 6.5 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, making it durable enough for use in various types of jewelry. However, care should be taken to avoid sharp blows and extreme temperatures.

Zircon is associated with promoting spiritual growth, mental clarity, and prosperity. It is also thought to enhance self-confidence and provide protection.

It's important to note the distinction between natural zircon and cubic zirconia. Natural zircon is a genuine gemstone, while cubic zirconia is a synthetic material often used as a diamond simulant.

This is a superb individual Tsarev meteorite weighing 60.4 grams. Its dimensions are 47x40x20 mm. Twenty-eight specimens of this L5 classified meteorite were found in fields.  The largest mass weighs 284 kg, the smallest 761 gr with a total weight of 1.23 Tons. The greatest distance between the find sites was 6.0 km.

In 1968, amidst a global surge in conflicts, a remarkable discovery was made in a small village in Volgograd Oblast. This region, known as the primary site of the Battle of Stalingrad—one of the largest and bloodiest battles in history—yielded an extraordinary find in the quiet fields near the rural village of Tsarev.

The Tsarev meteorite, named after the Russian word for czar, is a stone meteorite responsible for one of the largest meteorite showers in Russian history. This meteorite shower occurred on December 6, 1922, but the stones were not discovered until 1968 and only recognized in 1979. The Tsarev meteorite's mineral composition matches that of ordinary chondrites, including olivine, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, maskelynite, calcium phosphates, nickel-iron, troilite, chromite, ilmenite, and rutile.

Academic analysis of the Tsarev meteorite reveals significant features: large grains of nickel-iron, light grey areas with well-preserved chondritic texture, and dark areas containing a matrix with olivine grains and remnants of chondrules. 

This specimen would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.  Will come with a Canagem specimen card.

This is a rare and fantastic 50.9 gram Libyan Desert Glass from Kuffra, Libya, with dimensions of 65x44x19 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.

White Akoya pearls are considered the epitome of classic elegance and are often what people envision when they think of traditional pearls. Cultured in the Pinctada fucata oyster—primarily in Japan and to a lesser extent in China—Akoya pearls are celebrated for their exceptional luster and symmetry.

These pearls are typically perfectly round or near-round, with a smooth surface and a bright, mirror-like shine. Their color is usually white or cream, often enhanced by delicate overtones of rose, silver, or ivory. Akoya pearls generally range in size from 5 mm to 9 mm, though rare specimens can reach up to 10 or even 10.5 mm. The combination of their round shape, sharp luster, and classic color makes perfect round white Akoya pearls especially prized for necklaces, earrings, and bridal jewelry.

Comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Another beautiful specimen featuring large cubic green apophyllite with delicate scolecite.  

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.

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.

Scolecite forms as vertically striated, thin, prismatic crystals.  Scolecite may also occur as radiating fibrous masses.  The colour may be white, yellowish, or colourless.  It is a transparent to translucent mineral, and it has a vitreous to silky luster.
