This is a superb looking fragment of the Columbus classified meteorite weighing 3.83 grams. Its dimensions are 16x13x12 mm. This rare H5 classified meteorite was found in Luna County, New Mexico USA in 1997. The total weight of the stones recovered is recorded as a minuscule 165 grams.
Here's what the finder, Michael Cottingham told us: "This is the Meteorite that started it all for me! My wife and I were out looking for meteorites on a dry lake bed in Southern New Mexico and I found one! This was a new meteorite discovery and it only took me 300 hours of searching to find my First One! The COLUMBUS Meteorite was found by me in January of 1997. It was Classified by A. Rubin at UCLA as a H5 Chondrite. It was found near Columbus, Luna County, New Mexico and the Total Known Weight is ONLY 184 grams. Very Rare indeed."
This piece is part of America's history and is 1 of 228 approved meteorites from that location. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Michael Cottingham Meteorites and a Canagem Collection specimen card.

I ordered a Myanmar ruby of 1.85 ct. and a 1.2 ct. garnet. They processed my order the same day and the package showed up at home only two business days later. Beautiful gems, beautifully presented and excellent service. The website is a joy to peruse. I immediately ordered half a dozen more for a birthstone project. The best source i found for stones in Canada. Thanks Laura & Jean!
Très belle pièce. Je commence à collectionner les météorites et cette pièce est peu dispendieuse et va enrichir ma collection. Expédition rapide et excellente communication avec les gens de Canagem. AAA+++
It wasn't until I got a new UV light that I was able to see the amazing colour of this flourite. The specimen is very attractive in natural light, and crazy beautiful under 254nm UV! I love it!
