This is an outstanding Impact Melt Glass specimen or bomb weighing 9.04 grams.  Its dimensions are 27x24x19 mm.  Although not a meteorite, impactites are directly linked to them and their impacts.

This Henbury glass, or more specifically vesicular impactite, was found in the Northern Territory of Australia. Thirteen craters were found 8 miles southwest of the town of Henbury, the largest of which was 720 x 360 feet.  Henbury impactite was formed by a meteorite impact that occurred around 4,700 years ago. The meteorite is believed to have exploded upon entering the Earth's atmosphere, creating multiple craters which produced the impact glass.

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 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 piece displays extremely well.  It is amazingly light considering its mass.  It has a unique hollow sound when you tap it.  This Australian find is very well shaped and preserved. These pieces are becoming more difficult to acquire so this is a good time to get a fine specimen.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.  Will come with a Canagem specimen card.

This is a great 14.6 gram Impact Melt Breccia from the Gardnos Crater in Norway.  It is amazingly light considering its mass of 50x33x5 mm. 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.

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.

This specimen is remarkable for its relatively sharp marcasite crystal form.  It is in excellent condition.

Wavellite typically forms as radiating, spherical clusters or botryoidal (grape-like) aggregates, often appearing as green, yellow, brown, or even blue clusters on a host rock. The mineral typically forms in low-grade metamorphic rocks and phosphate-rich environments, often associated with minerals like quartz, variscite, and limonite.

Wavellite is found in several locations worldwide, with Arkansas, USA being one of the most famous sources, producing well-formed green botryoidal specimens. Other notable locations include England, Bolivia, Brazil, Germany, and Australia.

It is believed wavellite is linked to clarity, insight, and emotional balance, helping to provide a broader perspective on situations. It is sometimes associated with the heart chakra, thought to encourage compassion and emotional healing.

Apatite is a group of phosphate minerals that are commonly found in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks.  Apatite is named after the Greek word "apate," which means deceit, as it can be easily confused with other minerals due to its wide range of colors and forms. It can occur in various colors, including green, blue, yellow, brown, and violet. 

Apatite is believed to possess healing properties and is associated with creativity, self-expression, and personal growth. It is thought to enhance communication skills, stimulate intellect, and promote clarity of thought.

Pyrite from Bolivia is known for forming beautiful, well-shaped crystals, often appearing as sharp cubes, pyritohedrons (12-sided shapes), or even complex, stepped growth patterns. Bolivian pyrite tends to have a bright, brassy gold color with a good metallic luster, and it’s often found in association with other minerals like quartz or galena. 

Much of the pyrite from Bolivia comes from mining regions such as Potosí and Oruro, areas famous for their rich mineral deposits. While pyrite is common around the world, Bolivian specimens are valued for their attractive crystal habits, clean formations, and the quality of the material.

Pyrite is known as a stone of protection, abundance, and confidence.  It is believed to shield against negative energy and promote mental clarity and willpower. 

This top Bolivian specimen is in very good condition.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

This is a superb slice of the rare Northwest Africa 3134 meteorite, weighing 0.328 grams and measuring 11x10x1 mm.  This is 1 of 136 approved meteorites classified as EL-6.

This 328mg part slice of NWA 3134 is a Rare EL6, W0/1 Enstatite Chondrite found in 2004 in the Sahara Desert. Enstatites are very rare, accounting for less than 2% of the chondrites. The interior of this meteorite is extremely fresh rating a W0 (no weathering). The W1 was added because of an exterior weathering rind, which hid the beauty of this specimen until it was cut. A total known weight of 970 grams is recorded for this find.  Dual type specimens were submitted to two different institutions because rare minerals were found in an excellent state of preservation.

This hard to acquire piece displays very well with its diamond lap finish, it is a high quality specimen that would make an amazing addition to any new or existing collection. Comes  in a membrane box with a Canagem and a Hupé specimen card.
