This is a great looking meteorite collection in a Riker style box containing individual specimens selected for you.  From Guangxi, China you have a Nantan meteorite specimen; from Kenya you'll find a Sericho specimen and from the Northwest Africa a NWA 4293. The Riker collection box is approximately 85x110x23mm (3.3x4.3x.9 inch). 

You will receive 1 Riker box containing the above meteorite 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 Nantan meteorites are a must for all collectors, more so that it is now very difficult to find worthy specimen. They are a very interesting IAB-MG iron discovered in 1958 and there is an estimated 9.5 T of this material. This is 1 of 88 approved meteorites classified as Iron, IAB-MG.

The individual Northwest Africa or NWA 4293 formerly known as NQ10 is an H6 chondrite found in the Sahara desert in 2005 and is one of 5854 approved meteorites classified as such. 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. 

Then this Stony-iron or Mesosiderite Vaca Muerta (Dead Cow) classified meteorite was found in 1861 in the driest desert of the world called the Atacama, Chile. Although most have a weathered exterior, they also have lots of metal inside. Classified as a Mesosiderite A1 is 1 of only 7 approved meteorites classified as such, with a recovered weight of about 3.83 T.

Each specimen shows very well and is a perfect size to proudly display in your collection.  Also included is a stand for the Riker box and a Canagem Collection specimen card for each meteorite. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

The Lead–Zinc deposits of Madan Ore Field (Southwest Rhodopy Mountains) were operated by the Turks in the Middle Ages. Greek coins from Tassos island dating from 14th century AD, have been found in the ancient galleries. As well, the name of the Madan field, which in Turkish means Ore, originates from that time. 

The Madan Ore Field is built up mainly of the highly crystalline rocks of the lower (Ar) and upper (Pt) metamorphic units which form the Madan dome structure. The Lead–Zinc deposits of the Madan Ore Field are represented by: 1. Ore veins of Quartz–Carbonate–Sulphide composition, and 2. Metasomatic scarn deposits of Johannsenite–Rhodonite or Quartz–Sulphide composition.

This top specimen is in very good condition. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

Amphibole is a group of dark-colored, complex silicate minerals that form in a variety of geological settings.  The amphibole group includes several mineral species, such as hornblende, tremolite, actinolite, anthophyllite, and others. Each variety has its own unique chemical composition and physical properties.

Amphibole minerals can exhibit a range of colors, including dark green, black, brown, and even colorless. They often have a prismatic crystal habit, forming elongated crystals with distinct cleavage angles.  They are commonly found in igneous and metamorphic rocks. They crystallize in magma and can also form during metamorphism when pre-existing rocks are subjected to high pressure and temperature.

Phantom quartz is a variety of quartz, or "rock crystal", that forms over pre-existing crystals. The included crystal is visible due to some variation in composition making the boundary of the included crystal visible. Such crystals display the outlines of numerous smaller crystals, known as phantoms.  Great crystal to acquire.

Quartz is considered a “master healer.” It's said to amplify energy by absorbing, storing, releasing, and regulating it. It's also said to aid concentration and memory. Physically, clear crystals are claimed to help stimulate the immune system and balance out your entire body.
