This is a must have 24.4 gram Impactite, monomict impact breccia from the Agoudal, Imilchil impact structure, Morocco.  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. According to the state of conservation of the meteorite into the sedimentary layers "Soltanian" and the dating of ancient lake sediments of the Isli lake, we can estimate their age limit to 40,000 years. 

More than 183 structures of meteoritical impacts are highlighted on the Earth, including only three reported dual impact craters. The impact craters of Isli and Tislit are respectively located at 10 km and 4 km from the Imilchil village on the Central High Atlas in Morocco at respective altitudes of 2272 and 2266 meters. They are spaced apart from each other by 9.4 km. The origin and the date of formation of these two lakes are still unknown today. Surveys undertaken near them and in the surrounding areas leads to believe that they correspond to a dual meteoritical impact crater.

Polymict and monomict breccias were observed at the edges of these craters but they don’t form big masses because of erosion. They consist of irregular fragments with millimeter and centimeter sizes, in a carbonate matrix. In the breccias collected on the southern edges of the Isli crater, we noted the presence of several shocked quartz grains in planar structures associated with rolling extinction, indicators of shock metamorphism. 

This gorgeous specimen displays very well with a mass of 41x31x27 mm. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a set of five chalcopyrite crystals displaying varying cubic formations.  Chalcopyrite is a brassy yellow copper iron sulfide mineral and the primary ore of copper worldwide. It has a metallic luster and often develops an iridescent tarnish in shades of purple, blue, and green. Chalcopyrite often forms alongside minerals like quartz, pyrite, and sphalerite.

Some believe chalcopyrite is a stone of abundance and transformation, helping to clear energy blockages and inspire creativity. Its vibrant tarnish colors are thought to symbolize change and new opportunities.

These top specimens are in very good condition and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

This is a crystal combining Dolomite and Chalcopyrite.  The lovely, light pink blades of dolomite are will defined on this specimen and are covered in tiny chalcopyrite crystals.

Dolomite from the Joplin Mine in Joplin, Missouri, is well-known for its saddle-shaped crystal formations and association with other minerals like galena, sphalerite, marcasite and less frequently Chalcopyrite. The dolomite from this area typically forms in shades of white, beige, yellow, or pink, often with a pearly to slightly curved crystal habit.

Dolomite is often associated with stability, patience, and emotional balance. Some believe it encourages a sense of calm and centeredness.

This is very nice, showy material in excellent condition, a great addition to any collection.

This is an outstanding Impact Melt Glass specimen or bomb weighing 1.0 grams.  Its dimensions are 20x14x6 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 superb Nantan meteorite individual specimen, directly from Guangxi, China. Its dimensions are 56x42x15 mm and it weighs 29.8 grams.

The Nantan meteorites are a must for all collectors, more so that it is now very difficult to find worthy specimen. They are a very interesting IAB-MG iron discovered in 1958 and there is an estimated 9.5 T of this material. This is 1 of 88 approved meteorites classified as Iron, IAB-MG.

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

This is a must have 155.6 gram Impact Melt Rock from the Dellen Crater, north of Stokholm, 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.

This impactite was formed approx. 89 million years ago when a meteorite crashed into the earth making a round crater which is now a lake about 11 miles wide. The term tagamite was introduced in 1975 to describe impact rock from the Popigai crater in Russia. Varieties of tagamites are described based on crystallinity, texture and clast content.   HT Tagamite differs from other material due to the complete melting of the crystalline matrix and then being subjected to rapid cooling. 

This gorgeous slice displays very well.  It is amazingly light considering its mass of 83x51x27 mm.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

These are metallic-black, orthorhombic brookite crystals.  They are fine specimens from the famous mines at Magnet Cove, Arkansas. They are excellent, older material for the species and locality. The crystals come in a small glass vial.

Brookite is often associated with energy expansion, transformation, and heightened awareness. Some believe it helps with breaking through mental or spiritual barriers, making it a useful stone for those seeking personal growth or deeper understanding.

Specimen Size:  Thumbnail-Sized
Dimensions: 22x14 mm / 0.9x0.5 inches 
Weight: 4.6 Grams / .2 Ounces (incl glass vial)

This is a sculpted plate of Limonite after Pyrite.  Limonite after pyrite is a type of pseudomorph, meaning limonite has replaced the original pyrite crystal structure while keeping its shape. This occurs when pyrite oxidizes over time, often in the presence of water and oxygen, transforming into limonite, a mixture of hydrated iron oxides. The result is a rusty brown to yellowish mineral that retains pyrite’s cubic or pyritohedral shape but with a softer, earthy texture.

It believed that limonite after pyrite combines pyrite’s energy of strength and manifestation with limonite’s grounding and protective qualities. It is sometimes associated with stability, resilience, and transformation, symbolizing the ability to adapt and grow through life’s changes.

This is a great thumbnail sized Limonite after Pyrite pseudomorph specimen from Spain.
