This is a nice group of small yellow wulfenite crystals on matrix from Total Wreck Mine, Arizona.  Wulfenite from the Total Wreck Mine is known for producing small but attractive crystals, usually in shades of yellow to orange-yellow. The crystals from this mine tend to be thin, tabular, and sometimes slightly translucent, often growing on a contrasting, earthy matrix.

While the Total Wreck Mine isn’t as famous as places like the Red Cloud Mine for wulfenite, it has still yielded pieces that are valued by collectors, especially because Arizona as a whole is renowned for producing some of the world’s finest wulfenite. Specimens from Total Wreck are typically more modest in size and brightness but are appreciated for their historic mining context and authentic desert character.

Wulfenite is often associated with creativity, emotional balance, and perseverance. Some believe it helps connect the heart and the will, encouraging people to follow their passions even through difficult or uncertain times. Wulfenite is also thought to support emotional healing by helping release old attachments and clearing a path for new experiences.

The specimen is in good condition and is a colorful and really beautiful specimen. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

This is a must have 217.7 gram slice of Black Onaping Impact Fallback Breccia from the famous Sudbury Impact Structure in Ontario Canada. It's dimensions are 126x117x7 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.

This is a superb looking Stony-iron or Mesosiderite class C classified meteorite named Northwest Africa NWA 1879 .  This specimen is a part slice weighing 4.16 grams with dimensions of 22x17x4 mm.

This is a quote from Mr Hupé : "This is the NWA 1879, a rare C type Mesosiderite found in 2003 in Northwest Africa. This stony-iron type meteorite is beautiful because it is very fresh, has crystal clusters scattered throughout its matrix and has a great deal of elemental metal. NWA 1879 weighed 1,624 grams before preparation. About 31% was lost during cutting and polishing. There are several pairings to this meteorite in existence so the Total Known Weight (TKW) is unknown.

No expense was spared in the preparation of this meteorite. It was cut using a diamond blade in oil so that the silicates would not be plucked. When cutting this way the blade had to be redressed constantly to prevent the iron from loading up the cutting medium. It was coarse polished using a diamond lap, which needed the same treatment as the blade. It was then soaked in pure ethyl alcohol for days to extract the oil introduced during the cutting and polishing phases. A final dry polish was applied by hand, a very time consuming process. The final step was to clean it again with pure ethyl alcohol and dry it under a heat lamp providing great looking and stable specimens. This specimen comes with an identification card from The Hupé Collection."

This part slice displays extremely well and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes protected in a gem jar with both a Canagem Collection and a The Hupé Collection specimen card.

This unique combination features Cerussite’s striking luster and crystalline form, Barite’s delicate layers, and the dense stability of Galena. Cerussite derives its color primarily from lead, giving it an exquisite range from colorless to white and gray. Barite can appear in various hues, and is well-known for its great range of colors. Historically, Cerussite has been admired since ancient times, often used in decorative arts and as a lead ore. This spectacular cluster is commonly found in regions like Morocco, Mexico, and the USA.

Cerussite is believed to promote clarity and insight, enhancing one’s perception of the world. Barite is said to ground energies, fostering emotional stability and balance.

Orange spessartine garnets from California are highly regarded for their intense "mandarin" orange color and are often found in matrix, particularly in the pegmatites of Southern California, including areas near Kern County. While the most famous, high-quality, gemmy spessartine crystals in matrix, accompanied by schorl and quartz, are famously associated with the Little Three Mine in nearby Ramona (San Diego County), similar pegmatite occurrences in the region, including Kern County, produce desirable collector specimens. 

Spessartine garnet is considered a "high vibration" stone and is often associated with creativity. The specimens from this region are known for being 100% natural and untreated.

This is a superb looking fragment of a Sahara Desert NWA 515 classified meteorite weighing 1.16 grams. Its dimensions are 16x9x5 mm. 

This meteorite was found by Berber nomads in the deserts of Africa. Hundreds of small stones, more then 20 kilograms in total, was purchased November 8th, 2000 in M'Hamid, Morocco, Africa by a group of meteorite dealers and collectors. 247 grams was donated to UCLA were it was classified by A. Rubin as an L6 Chondrite with a shock rating of 2 and a weathering grade of 3 (25% olivine). Cut pieces of this meteorite show a nice light matrix with golden hues.

Thin sections (2nd photo) show nice chondrules ranging in size from less then 1mm to 3mm.  Thin sections are used in earth geology, and in meteorites to identify the minerals in them. Stone meteorites are made of mostly of olivine and pyroxene. The pyroxene is typically greyish or yellowish and the bright colored minerals scattered throughout the photo are mostly olivine.

This piece displays extremely well and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a The Mark Bostick Collection and a Canagem Collection specimen card.
