This is a beautiful, fully terminated thumbnail sized Quartz Point. 

Quartz crystals are among the most abundant and well-known minerals on Earth. Quartz belongs to the hexagonal crystal system. It typically forms six-sided prismatic crystals with a pointed termination. Its crystals can be colorless or exhibit a wide range of colors. The color variations are often due to the presence of impurities or trace elements during the crystal's formation. Quartz is transparent to translucent. 

This specimen would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

Here we have for you a superb looking Dhofar 020 classified meteorite weighing 17.15 grams. Its dimensions are 31x19x20 mm.  Found 10 March 2000 in Dhofar, Oman, in the Arabian Peninsula this H4/5 classified chondrite has a TKW of 256 Kg with a shock stage of S4 and weathering grade of W3 by the Russian Academy of Sciences, USSR.

Dhofar 020 is an ordinary stone chondrite meteorite. The meteorite is high in free metal and therefore falls in the H class. S4 tells it is highly shocked. Slices of the meteorite, show veins of the cosmic impact created mineral Ringwoodite, although fractures in the stone tend to hide this some. It almost appears to me to have splinted upon impact. The meteorite falls in 4-5 petrology class, a reference to how metamorphed the meteorite is from its original state. This is judged by studying a thin section of the meteorite, most visually at the chondrules, a feature unique to stone meteorite. In a thin section under polarized light, pyroxene chondrules seem more common then their olivine pair. Still some regions in the meteorite show scattered patches of bright olivine inclusions. These are fairly rare, at least on my thin section, and most of the meteorite's olivine and pyroxene, some of the easier things to see in a thin section, appear to have went through a metamorphism, and have "melted" into the matrix and are at times undistinguishable.

This piece displays extremely well, it has a beautiful crust and is a good size. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Michael Farmer Meteorites and a Canagem Collection specimen card.

The Azuara polymict impact breccia refers to the impact material from the 38 million year old twin (multiple) impact structures Azuara / Rubielos de la Cerida in Northern Spain.

This polymict impact breccia was found in the area of Santa Cruz de Nogueras near the center area of this large multiple impact structure.  This is partly melted and/or decarbonized limestone fragments in a dense and extremely hard matrix showing flow texture.  The breccia is considered an equivalent to suevite impactites in other impact structures. This beautiful slice has dimensions of 110x51x11 mm and weighs 122 grams.

Moissanite has become a popular alternative to diamonds for jewelry.  Moissanites have a similar appearance to diamonds and often look nearly identical to the untrained eye. They share the brilliance, sparkle, and fire that diamonds are known for, making them an attractive choice. With moissanite, it is possible to have a beautiful gemstone for a fraction of the price of a diamond.  Moissanites are primarily produced in laboratories, offering a controlled and consistent quality. This aspect appeals to those who prefer gemstones with known origins and minimal environmental impact.

Originally discovered in a meteorite crater, Moissanite is well known worldwide as the world’s most brilliant gemstone, better than diamonds. Moissanite is incredibly rare in its natural form; however, lab created moissanite is identical to the original with hardness second only to diamond.  Moissanites have a hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs scale, while  diamonds are a 10.  This makes moissanite suitable for everyday wear and less prone to scratching or damage.

This sparkling round cut pale yellow moissanite is a great choice for any jewelry project.

The Azuara polymict impact breccia refers to the impact material from the 38 million year old twin (multiple) impact structures Azuara / Rubielos de la Cerida in Northern Spain.

This impact breccia was found in the area of the village of Fuendetodos near the center area of this large multiple impact structure. This is partly melted and/or decarbonized limestone fragments in a dense and extremely hard matrix showing flow texture.  The breccia is considered an equivalent to suevite impactites in other impact structures. This beautiful slice has dimensions of 115x63x13 mm and weighs 156 grams.

This is a must have 231 gram Impact Melt Glass slice from the famous Sudbury Impact Structure in Ontario Canada. Its dimensions are 123x104x9 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 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!

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.

This is a must have slice of Brent pinkish gneiss impact breccia. It is roughly diamond shaped with dimensions of 140x75x8 mm and a weight of 106 grams.  It comes together with a collectable twelve-page booklet, with paper a cover, entitled Brent Crater Trail: History of the Crater.

This 14x21.5cm fully illustrated collectible trail guide was published in 1998 and is a great introduction to the Brent Crater.  It examines the history of the Brent Crater, discovered in 1951, one of Canada’s many meteorite impact craters. The crater itself is about 3.8 km in diameter and is estimated to be 396-million year old (+ or - 20 million years).  

Long after a meteorite impact crater has begun to disappear from the landscape, a variety of impactites may remain. One variety is impact breccia, a mixture of shattered and sometimes melted rock. 

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. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection, also perfect as a gift for a young space enthusiast. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card. 

This 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.
