Unit price perPseudomorphs 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.
These specimens are remarkable for their relatively sharp marcasite crystal forms in aesthetic crystal clusters. They are in excellent condition. This collector's specimen is unique, of great quality and ready for display.

Unit price perThis is a must have 191.39 gram slice of Black Onaping Impact Fallback Breccia from the famous Sudbury Impact Structure in Ontario Canada. It's dimensions are 116x115x6 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 piece you'll ever own.
About 1.87 billion years ago, an object from space 9 kilometers in diameter, slammed into Canada a little north of Sudbury, Ontario creating the second largest impact structure on the earth. This impact was equivalent to a billion tons of TNT; an impact so great that it cracked the earth, in fact they still have earthquakes because of it today!
This specimen of Sudbury Black Onaping Breccia is a lithified fallback breccia composed of melt glass and country target rock fragments. This meteorite impact created a large mushroom cloud that fell back down to earth to create this breccia. "Bucky Ball Fullerine" with terrestrial carbon in the form of C-60 and C-70 is found in this type of Sudbury impact rock. Greenish-Blueish dust covered Tektites can also be found within its matrix. The Onaping forms in two layers, the first one is grey and second one is black.
The many mineral rich deposits and strange rock formations in such close proximity has attracted attention for 100's of years, long before its impact origin was known. Thomas Edison, for instance, built a lab on site and NASA Moonwalker "Gene" Cernan, who studied and collected geology samples as part of his pre-moon mission training.
Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

Unit price perThis is a fantastic shatter cone from Canada weighing 850 grams and measuring 23x9x4.5 cm. This shatter cone was formed 1.849 billion years ago at the Sudbury Basin (also named Sudbury Structure) in the Paleoproterozoic era. The exact location of the find is written on the back of this amazing specimen. 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' axes typically radiate outwards from the point of impact, with the cones pointing towards the center of the impact crater.
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.

Unit price perThis is a must have 11.4 gram Impact Melt Rock from the Dhala Impact Structure, India. It measures 41x29x6 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 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 beautiful Impact melt rock comes from the 11 km-diameter highly eroded Dhala impact structure in India. The Dhala structure has an estimated age of about 2Ga (2,000 Ma), making it the third oldest terrestrial impact structure.
This gorgeous slice displays very well. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.
This is a Parcel or Lot of individual Northwest Africa (NWA) 4293 meteorites, formerly known as NQ10, an H6 chondrite found in the Sahara Desert in 2005. The meteorite lot weighs over 100 grams. Dimensions of the individuals vary between 16 and 40 mm with weight between 4 and 5 grams.
This fascinating meteorite was mainly found as small individuals and the total weight of the 100's of pieces recovered is recorded as a low 25 kg. The meteorite has a shock stage of 4 and weathering grade of 2. Most pieces are free of caliche, have a smooth gray surface and are small complete individuals. The unusual appearance is due to shock hardening and being sandblasted in the desert.
The one-centimeter cube in the image is for scale purposes. These fantastic looking individuals would be great for passing around a classroom, for jewelry making or as small gifts to those who are interested in meteoritics. What better way to share your enthusiasm for meteorites with others? This lot comes with a Hupe Collection and a Canagem specimen cards. Would make a beautiful addition to any collection or start one today.
