Ametrine is a gemstone that is a combination of amethyst and citrine, which are both varieties of quartz. It displays a beautiful blend of purple and yellow colors due to the presence of iron impurities. The name "ametrine" is derived from the combination of "amethyst" and "citrine." Ametrine is relatively rare compared to other gemstones and is mainly found in Bolivia, although it can also be found in smaller quantities in Brazil, Uruguay, and India.
Ametrine combines the calming and spiritual properties of amethyst with the energizing and uplifting qualities of citrine. This combination is thought to promote balance, harmony, and mental clarity. Ametrine is also associated with creativity, confidence, and overall well-being.

Unit price perNatural Herkimer Diamonds | 4.25 carat Lot | 4.7 - 7.5 mm | Herkimer County NY
$24.00 CAD
Unit price perThis is a 4.25 carat, 8 piece lot of beautiful little Herkimer diamonds. They measure 4.7-7.5 mm in length and each of them have multiple terminated points.
Herkimer Diamonds are beautiful double-terminated quartz crystals which are found mainly in Herkimer County, New York. Incredibly, these phenomenal gemstones are believed to be close to five hundred million years old. The crystals are magnificent works of nature found in the rock, appearing to have been precision cut by man and having a diamond-like geometrical shape; thus, the name Herkimer Diamond. Many collectors believe the Herkimer Diamond should rival a true diamond and their reasoning for this is that a true diamond found in the rough is exactly that, a rough appearing glass-like stone. The diamond must be painstakingly cut by man to give it smooth faces and a geometrical shape.
In fact, Herkimer Diamonds are not diamonds. A true diamond is one of the hardest elements known to man, scoring a ten on a one to ten hardness scale. Herkimer Diamonds are harder than all quartz crystals. They fall at about 7.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, giving the real diamond a close race. For comparison, many man-made steels barely score a seven on the hardness scale.
This stone is said to energize, enliven, and promote creativity. The smaller, exceptionally clear stones are said to be powerful attunement crystals, stimulating psychic abilities, such as clairvoyance, spiritual vision, and telepathy. It is also said that Herkimer attunes people and links them together when they have to be parted if each person has a stone

$138.00 CAD
Unit price perThis is a superb looking fragment of the Columbus classified meteorite weighing 3.83 grams. Its dimensions are 16x13x12 mm. This rare H5 classified meteorite was found in Luna County, New Mexico USA in 1997. The total weight of the stones recovered is recorded as a minuscule 165 grams.
Here's what the finder, Michael Cottingham told us: "This is the Meteorite that started it all for me! My wife and I were out looking for meteorites on a dry lake bed in Southern New Mexico and I found one! This was a new meteorite discovery and it only took me 300 hours of searching to find my First One! The COLUMBUS Meteorite was found by me in January of 1997. It was Classified by A. Rubin at UCLA as a H5 Chondrite. It was found near Columbus, Luna County, New Mexico and the Total Known Weight is ONLY 184 grams. Very Rare indeed."
This piece is part of America's history and is 1 of 228 approved meteorites from that location. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Michael Cottingham Meteorites and a Canagem Collection specimen card.
This is an individual Northwest Africa or NWA 4293 formerly known as NQ10, an H6 chondrite found in the Sahara desert in 2005. It is one of 5854 approved meteorites classified as such. The meteorite weighs 5.1 grams with dimensions of 23x14x12 mm.
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. NWA 4293 is interesting in the way it looks as can be seen in the images. 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.
This specimen comes with a Canagem specimen card. Would make a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

Unit price perNWA 869 Meteorite | 3 Piece Lot | 8.1 Gr | Individual | L3-6 Chondrite | Crusted Specimen
$18.20 CAD
Unit price perThis is a fantastic lot of crusted individual NWA (Northwest Africa) 869 L3-6 classified meteorites, found by Nomads in the Sahara Desert in 2000. The total weight of the lot is 8.1 grams. These three specimens display a superb crust on most of their surface.
Most samples are individual meteorites but some fragments (mostly >1 kg) also occur. In most cases the fusion crust has been polished or ablated by wind erosion. Many samples are more severely affected and show faces with deep wind erosion features. Fracture faces, formed by ground collision, show a typical gray-green color and sometimes visible brecciation (light and/or dark clasts).
These specimens come from the Hupé Collection and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.
Impact Breccia | Part Slice | 222.8 Grams | Metal Rich Impactite | Sudbury Structure, Canada

Unit price perImpact Breccia | Part Slice | 222.8 Grams | Metal Rich Impactite | Sudbury Structure, Canada
$230.00 CAD
Unit price perThis is a must have 222.8 gram Metal Ore Copper rich Impact Breccia from the famous Sudbury Astrobleme Impact Structure in Ontario Canada. Its dimensions are 110x70x10 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 pieces you'll ever own.
About 1.87 billion years ago, an object from space nine 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 big it cracked the earth, and in fact there are still earthquakes because of that event today! 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.
Note that this is not a meteorite but a slice of Earth rock, altered by the impact of a very large meteorite. This came from the ring of the impact and is the harder to find gold-copper-bronze colored impactite described as a metal-rich breccia and sulfides composed chiefly of some amount of iridium, cobalt & selenium. In addition, most of these specimens will contain nickel, iron, sperrylite and pentlandite as well as minor amounts of other metals, metallic & silicate minerals."

This is a specimen of Star Mica or Muscovite and Quartz cluster. These clusters show crystals that grow in sheets or book formations. It is silvery gold with good transparency when held up to the light. The name Muscovite comes from the term Muscovy Glass which was a name for the thick sheets of Mica used as a substitute for glass Russia. The name Mica is derived from the Greek word that means to split.
On this nice specimen, the matrix faces are covered with beautiful golden yellow point stars of muscovite mica, a typical shape for this rare mica formation. The stars are the result of twinning; the points show a bit of wear but this does not detract from the beauty of such a piece.
Name: Star Mica - Muscovite with Quartz
Specimen Size: Miniature-Sized
Dimensions: 47x43x25 mm / 1.8x1.7x1.0 inches
Weight: 48 Grams / 1.7 ounces
Origin: Mined in Minas Gerais, Brazil
Veevers Meteorite | Rare Large 1.74 Gr | Individual | Iron IIAB | Australia
$130.00 CAD
Unit price perVeevers Meteorite | Rare Large 1.74 Gr | Individual | Iron IIAB | Australia
$130.00 CAD
Unit price perThis is a stunning fragment of the very rare Veevers classified meteorite weighing 1.74 grams. This meteorite is one of only 15 associated with a crater larger than 10 meters across. The crater is about 1 million years old and is one of only 2 craters older than 50,000 years that have meteorites associated with them. This amazingly well preserved specimen measures 13x8x4 mm.
The Veevers crater is located in the Gibson Desert of Western Australia. It has a diameter of 60-80 meters across and a depth of about 6-7 meters. The crater's rim is raised 1.5m above the surrounding plain, and contains exposed rocks thrown from the center of the crater. The sides are gravelly rock with a few larger rocks mixed within. The bottom of the crater is covered with sand. Veevers is isolated in a vast, flat landscape with no other features in sight. Discovered in the mid-1970's and named by Yeates, A.N., Crowe, R.W.A. & Towner, R.R., in 1976, as The Veevers Crater in honor of Australian geologist Prof. John Veevers, for his work at mapping Western Australia.
In 1984, Dr. Carolyn and Eugene Shoemaker investigated meteorite craters and ancient impact structures throughout Australia. Their search recovered thirty-six small meteoritic fragments from the Veevers crater. Their finds totaled 298.1 grams, and included the largest found to date, 36.3g., now cleaned and coated it weighs 37.0 grams. The Veevers fragments have been described as single crystals of kamacite. Kamacite is a metallic iron with up to 7.5% nickel. Since the Shoemaker trip, more meteorite fragments have been found, bringing the total known weight to around 1 kg. The Veevers crater is naturally rich in iron-rich laterite, which makes recovery of small meteorite fragments hard. It is one of only two impact craters where group IIAB meteorites have been discovered. The other being the Sikhote-Alin craters in Eastern Siberia, Russia.
Would be an exceptional and rare addition to any new or existing collection. This historically important specimen will come with a ELKK Meteorite Collection and Canagem Collection specimen cards.
