Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz, which is a mineral composed of silicon and oxygen. It is one of the most popular gemstones due to its beautiful color.  Amethyst ranges in color from light purple to deep violet. The color is caused by impurities of iron within the quartz crystal.  Amethyst can be found in various locations around the world, including Brazil, Uruguay, Russia, Zambia, and the United States.

Amethyst is believed to enhance spiritual awareness, ward off negative energies, promote balance and relaxation, and improve intuitive and psychic abilities. Amethyst is also thought to enhance mental clarity and focus.

Here we have for you a superb looking Dhofar 020 classified meteorite weighing 49.8 grams. Its dimensions are 68x32x20 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.

The following is an excerpt from Mark Bostick's review of this meteorite:  "Dhofar 020 is a 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 showing a beautiful crust, superb shape and good size. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is an etched part slice of the Gibeon classified meteorite mounted on a Sterling Silver medallion, made by an artisan from Mexico. The Widmanstatten pattern on this Gibeon stands out remarkably, making for an eye catching pendant. The thin part slice measures 11x7 mm and is placed onto a silver medallion measuring 34x18x2mm.  The total weight of this pendant, including meteorite and silver, is 13 grams.  This Iron (IAV) classified meteorite was found in Great Nama Land Namibia in 1836.  So far approximately 26 T of this material have been recovered.

Gibeon pieces are becoming more difficult to acquire so this is a good time to get a fine specimen.  Comes with a Canagem® Collection specimen card.

Rhodochrosite is a beautiful pink to red mineral that is typically found in veins associated with silver, copper, lead, and zinc ores. Peru is one of the most famous sources of rhodochrosite, and the country is known for producing some of the most vibrant and high-quality specimens of this mineral.

These tumbled rhodochrosite would make a beautiful addition to a mineral collection. 

Rhodochrosite is believed to have healing properties, particularly related to the heart and emotional healing. It is said to promote love, compassion, and self-awareness, and to help release emotional trauma and negative patterns. It is also thought to be a stone of creativity, helping to stimulate and enhance artistic expression.

This is a must have 27.4 gram Impact Melt Rock from the Stac Fada Member Impact Structure, NW Scotland. It measures 67x37x5 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 items you'll ever own. Impactite is a slag-like glassy object found on the surface of the earth, formed from rock melted by the impact of a meteorite.

The term impactite encompasses shock-metamorphosed target rocks, melts or suevites and mixtures of the two, as well as sedimentary rocks with significant impact-derived components and shocked mineral grains, tektites, anomalous geochemical signatures, etc.

This beautiful Impact melt rock comes from the Stac Fada impact structure in Scotland. The structure has an estimated age of about 1.2Ga (1,200 Ma). The Stac Fada Member of the Precambrian Stoer Group in Scotland has previously been described as volcanic in origin. However, shocked quartz and biotite provide evidence for high-pressure shock metamorphism, while chromium isotope values and elevated abundances of platinum group metals and siderophile elements indicate addition of meteoritic material. Thus, the unit is reinterpreted as having an impact origin.

This gorgeous slice displays very well.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with two a Canagem Collection specimen card.

The principal member of the Aragonite Group, aragonite is the second most common polymorph of natural calcium carbonate (the most common is calcite). It is significantly less widespread and abundant than calcite and is formed under a much narrower range of physiochemical conditions. It is metastable relative to calcite and often converts to calcite accompanying changes in the environment. It is nearly always a low-temperature, near surface mineral.

Origin: Chlum Region, Czech Republic

Moldavite is a rare, greenish gemstone formed by the impact of a meteorite. It is a type of tektite, which is a natural glass created from terrestrial material that melted during the intense heat of meteor impacts. Moldavite is believed to have been formed around 15 million years ago when a massive meteorite hit what is now the southern Germany and Czech Republic region, forming the Ries Impact Structure. The impact ejected material into the atmosphere, which later cooled and fell back to Earth as moldavite, primarily in the region of the Czech Republic.  The most well-known deposits are located near the Moldau River, from which it gets its name.  It is found in small quantities, making it relatively rare. 

Moldavite has a distinct green color, ranging from pale olive green to deep forest green. Some specimens even have a slight brownish tint.  It often has a wrinkled or pitted surface, a characteristic of its formation process.

This is a beautiful specimen of golden brown Vesuvianite crystals on a white carbonate matrix from Mexico. A great addition to any collection! It was first discovered on Mount Vesuvius in Italy in the 18th century, hence its name.

Vesuvianite typically occurs as a green, brown, yellow, or blue-green crystal, and is often found in metamorphic and igneous rocks. The alternate name, Idocrase, is from the Greek eidos “form”, and krasis “mixture”, because Vesuvianite often appears to combine the crystal forms of other minerals. It is used as a gemstone.

Zircon comes in a variety of colors, including blue, yellow, green, brown, and red, and is renowned for its exceptional brilliance.  It is found in many locations worldwide, including Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Cambodia, and Australia. Some of the oldest zircon crystals have been dated to be over 4 billion years old, making them among the oldest minerals on Earth.

Zircon has a hardness of 6.5 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, making it durable enough for use in various types of jewelry. However, care should be taken to avoid sharp blows and extreme temperatures.

Zircon is associated with promoting spiritual growth, mental clarity, and prosperity. It is also thought to enhance self-confidence and provide protection.

It's important to note the distinction between natural zircon and cubic zirconia. Natural zircon is a genuine gemstone, while cubic zirconia is a synthetic material often used as a diamond simulant.

An olivine volcanic bomb is a type of volcanic rock that contains olivine crystals and has been ejected during a volcanic eruption. Olivine is a mineral that is commonly found in the Earth's mantle and is one of the first minerals to crystallize as magma cools.

Volcanic bombs are large clots of lava that are ejected from a volcano during an explosive eruption. They can vary in size, and their shapes are often streamlined due to their molten nature as they are thrown through the air. When these volcanic bombs contain olivine crystals, they are referred to as olivine volcanic bombs.

The crystal face has been left raw on this piece to show the green olivine crystals which are showcased beautifully against the surrounding black lava crust.  This huge display specimen is a museum grade specimen and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.
