This is a great looking Bereba classified meteorite specimen weighing .19 gram.  A single stone weighing 18 kilograms was observed falling on June 27, 1924 at 3:30pm in Burkina Faso  This Eucrite-mmict classified meteorite and is 1 of only 304 approved meteorites classified as such. This is a very difficult fall to acquire.

It is recognized as a monomict breccia, providing significant insight into the geological history of the asteroid 4 Vesta, from which it is believed to originate.

This piece is a very desirable type of material and a great specimen all around. The specimen comes in a protective display case. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card plus one from origin.

This meteorite came from the Elbert King meteorite collection. Labeled as "UNDOCUMENTED" and side noted, "#2". The stone was first recognized as a meteorite by KSU geologist Doug Brookins at the university in Manhattan, Kansas.

The meteorite was "discovered" on the desk of a university secretary where it was being used as a paper weight. A fitting job for any meteorite. The original find date is unknown. Elbert King acquired the aerolite from Brookins in a trade. It was unclassified and part of the King collection at the time of his death. A single stone, 301 grams, is all that is known of this find.

The Kansas Meteorite Society acquired it in 2004 and sent 26 grams to UCLA were it was classified by Alan Rubin in October of that year. The meteorite is a stone chondrite H4, W3, S1. Officially named the "Kansas State University" Meteorite in February 2005.

This piece is part of Kansas history and a special specimen of great importance for the collector of interesting material. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Mark Bostick Collection and a Canagem Collection specimen card.

Here we have for you an amazing 3.51 grams Irghizite Tektite from the Zhamanshi Crater in Kazakhstan. Its Dimensions are 21x10x14 mm.  These specimen were first found in 2003 and dates back 900,000 ± 100,000 years.

Unlike other Tektites which can be found hundreds of miles from their point of origin, this is found in and around the crater formed by the impacting body.  In this case it is speculated to be of cometary origin due to analysis of the elements contained within the Irghizites and other impactite found in the crater which are called Zhamanshinite.

This piece displays well and is a great size showing multiple characteristics of its origin.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

Here we have for you an amazing 0.36 grams premium shaped Irghizite Tektite from the Zhamanshi Crater in Kazakhstan. Its dimensions are 20x8x5 mm.  These specimen were first found in 2003 and date back 900,000 ± 100,000 years.

This stretched and twisted Irghizite is typical of this material. Unlike other Tektites which can be found hundreds of miles from their point of origin, this is found in and around the crater formed by the impacting body.  In this case it is speculated to be of cometary origin due to analysis of the elements contained within the Irghizites and other impactite found in the crater which are called Zhamanshinite.

This piece displays very well and is a very nice size showing multiple characteristics of its origin.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes in a small specimen box and with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

Discover a piece of history with our Fossil Carcharhinus Gray Shark Teeth. These shark teeth are believed to be from the Carcharhinus species, dating back to the Miocene to Early Pliocene period, approximately ~23 to 5 million years ago. Sourced from the Peace River,  Venice Beach Florida, these teeth are approximately .5 to 1 inch in size. Perfect for collectors or those interested in prehistoric relics.

The Carcharinus Genera - or the Gray Sharks are a genus of requiem sharks with over 30 extant species. They are very common and found virtually all over the globe. They feed on a variety of prey, from bony fish, other sharks and rays, and squid.

You will receive 1 of the shark teeth pictured.

Fossil Type:  Gray Shark Teeth
Species: Carcharhinus 
Age: Miocene to Early Pliocene (~23 - 5 million years)
Location: Peace River, Venice Beach, Florida USA

The smoky-brown color of this beautiful calcite cluster is a result of trace impurities or microscopic inclusions incorporated during crystal growth. Iron, manganese, or tiny mineral inclusions can impart shades ranging from pale champagne to deep smoky brown. 

Donghai Mine, Jiangsu Province, China, is located within the Sulu ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic belt, one of the world's most geologically significant regions. Formed during the collision of two ancient continental plates hundreds of millions of years ago, the area contains rocks that were buried deep within the Earth before being uplifted to the surface. Later hydrothermal activity deposited mineral-rich veins throughout the region, creating exceptional crystals of quartz, fluorite, calcite, and other minerals.

Today, Donghai is internationally recognized as one of China's premier mineral-producing districts. In addition to quartz, the district is well known for its beautifully crystallized fluorite and calcite, valued for their vibrant colors, transparency, and excellent crystal form. Specimens from Donghai are prized not only for their beauty but also for the remarkable geological history they represent.

This is a natural "Ball Peen" Mica specimen from Branchville, Connecticut.  Instead of forming flat, book-like sheets as muscovite usually does, mica specimens from the Branchville Mica Mine develop a rounded, bulbous termination resembling the rounded end of a ball-peen hammer, from which its name is derived.

The Branchville Mica Mine, which has been inactive since 1944 and is mostly flooded, is one of the most historically important mineral localities in the United States. Opened in the 1870s as a mica mine, it quickly became internationally recognized for its scientific significance after Yale University mineralogists discovered an exceptional variety of rare minerals within its pegmatite. The quarry served as the type locality for several newly identified mineral species and played a key role in advancing the study of pegmatites and mineral formation. It is especially famous for producing the distinctive "ball-peen" muscovite crystals, along with fine specimens of beryl, spodumene, and other rare minerals. 

This classic specimen from Connecticut will come protected in a Perky Box.   The box will show its age but is just another way to show how old the specimen is.  The original label when the specimen was catalogued is also a nice touch.
