This is a great looking impactite Tektite collection in a Riker style box containing individual specimens selected for you.  From China you have a Tektite specimen; from Kazakhstan you'll find an Irghizite specimen and from the Sahara Desert a Libyan Desert Glass specimen. The Riker collection box is approximately 85x110x23mm (3.3x4.3x.9 inch). 

You will receive 1 Riker box containing the above impactite specimens.  Note that the photos provided are representative, so you may not receive the exact pictured specimen; however, you will receive one of each of the specimen listed above of the same or higher value and similar characteristics.

The first Tektite is an Indochinite from Maoming City, Guangdong Province, China, although not a meteorite, it is directly linked to them or their impacts, just consider its age of around 780,000 years old. Tektite can still be interesting just because of the persistent mystery that resisted clear explanations of there creation for generations of geologists.

The Libyan Desert Glass from Kuffra, Libya, 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.

The specimen of Irghizite from the Zhamanshin impact crater, Yrgyz District, Aktobe Region in Kazakhstan is a must in any collection.  This natural glass was formed from a meteorite impact melting the local rock which is confirmed with the Zhamanshin meteor crater 14 km in diameter and dated at 900,000 years ± 100,000.   Of interest, this tektite glass was often used in paleolithic tool making..  

Each specimen shows very well and is a perfect size to proudly display in your collection and they will come with a Canagem Collection specimen card.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

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 rare and fantastic 54.4 gram Libyan Desert Glass from Kuffra, Libya, with dimensions of 68x33x22 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​.

This is a must have 25.97 gram Impact Breccia also referred to as Suevite coming from the famous Rochechouart impact structure in South Western France, near the village of Montoume.  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.

Named after the town of Rochechouart, the Rochechouart impact structure is located on the western margin of the French Massif Central near the city of Limoges, approximately 350 km (220 mi) south of Paris.  Rochechouart (population about 3800) is built with rocks created or modified by the impact (impactites).

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 186 million years ago.   This deformed rock fragments and partly molten are imbedded in a melt matrix showing typical flow structures from former melt.

This gorgeous slice displays very well with a mass of 58x37x7 mm. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

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 often associated with other zeolite minerals.

Stilbite is believed to have soothing and spiritually uplifting qualities, often associated with promoting emotional healing, inner peace, and mental clarity. Many consider it helpful for enhancing spiritual connection, deepening meditation, and supporting dream recall or lucid dreaming. Often linked to the heart chakra, it is thought to encourage love, compassion, and the release of emotional wounds. Stilbite may assist in navigating transitions, amplifying the energy of other crystals, and fostering a calming environment by shifting negative energy into positive vibrations.

This is a must have 80.5 gram Impact Melt Rock from the Dellen Crater, north of Stokholm, Sweden. Some locals call these rocks by the name of “dellenites”, although officially they are impact melt rocks.  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.  Dellen impactites were divided into three impactite groups: (i) suevitic impact breccias with lithic and melt clasts, (ii) impact melt rocks, and (iii) shocked (parautochthonous) target rock. In turn, impact melt rocks were divided into (i) clast-rich, (ii) clast-poor, and (iii) clast-free types.  The Dellenite type material was classified as clast poor impact melt breccia.

This gorgeous slice displays very well.  It is amazingly light considering its mass of 87x73x6   mm.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

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.
