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 calming energy, supporting spiritual growth and emotional healing.

This is a fantastic shatter cone from France weighing 24.79 grams and measuring 45x25x25  mm. Although not a meteorite, impactites and shatter cones are directly linked to them and their impacts.   Shatter cones are evidence that the rock has been subjected to an extreme shock with very brief high pressures.

Shatter cones are rare geological features that are only known to form in the bedrock beneath large meteorite impact craters. They have a distinctively conical shape with thin grooves (striae) that radiate from the top (apex) of the cone. Shatter cones can range in length from 1 centimeter to several meters. The azimuths of the cones's axes typically radiate outwards from the point of impact, with the cones pointing towards the center of the impact crater.

This impactite was formed 186 million years ago.  This piece displays very well and is a very nice size showing multiple characteristics of its origin. Would make a beautiful addition to any collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This specimen displays extremely well and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with both a Canagem Collection and a PolandMet Meteorites specimen card.

Barite clusters are beautiful mineral specimens that feature intergrown crystals forming visually appealing arrangements. It is typically found as thick to thin tabular crystals, usually in clusters with the crystals growing parallel to one another, or nearly so.  It can also occur as bladed, blocky, or even rosette-like aggregates.  This is a fine cluster of bladed barite crystals.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

This is lot of small tumbled individuals from a Sahara Desert NWA unclassified meteorite.  Because they have been tumbled, you can clearly see the metal within the specimens. The total weight of the lot is 11.7 grams.  They range in size from 14 to 25 mm.  This never classified North West Africa stone was found in the Sahara desert around 2000.

These small individual specimens are great as teaching tools in the home or in the classroom, as gifts, or for jewelry making.   They can also be used for science projects and other types craft displays. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

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.

This is a must have 38.6 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 79x54x5 mm.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

Product Type: Amethyst
Approx Weight (per piece): 2.5ct
Size: 9mm
Shape: Round Cut
Color: Purple
Clarity: SI (Slightly Included) 
Origin: Brazil

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.

An olivine volcanic bomb is a type of volcanic rock that contains olivine crystals and has been ejected during a volcanic eruption. Olivine is a mineral that is commonly found in the Earth's mantle and is one of the first minerals to crystallize as magma cools.

Volcanic bombs are large clots of lava that are ejected from a volcano during an explosive eruption. They can vary in size, and their shapes are often streamlined due to their molten nature as they are thrown through the air. When these volcanic bombs contain olivine crystals, they are referred to as olivine volcanic bombs.

This piece has been cut to showcase the beautiful green olivine crystals.  It would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.
