This is a rare and fantastic 43.8 gram Libyan Desert Glass from Kuffra, Libya, with dimensions of 52x37x31 mm.  Although its exact origin is still debated, the leading theory suggests it was formed by a high-energy event, such as a meteoric impact or airburst, that melted the desert sand directly where it lay, without being ejected into the atmosphere and re-entering. This results in different physical characteristics compared to tektites.

Libyan Desert Glass is found specifically in the Great Sand Sea of the Eastern Sahara, within a more localized area spanning parts of western Egypt and eastern Libya.  Characterized by its yellow to greenish-yellow color, it lacks the aerodynamic shapes of tektites and often appears as irregularly shaped pieces. It is almost pure silica (around 98%) with very few impurities. Throughout history, it has been regarded as a mystical and powerful material, sometimes used in talismans and amulets.

This piece displays extremely well and is a quality translucent specimen. It has an aesthetic shape with a beautiful wind eroded body from the years spent in the Desert. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.

Here we have for you a superb looking Stony-iron or Mesosiderite Vaca Muerta (Dead Cow) classified meteorite weighing 2.46 grams. Its dimensions are 14x10x8 mm.

This classified meteorite was found in 1861 in the driest desert of the world called the Atacama, in Chile. Mesosiderites are formed on the surface of a parent body as a result of impacts with another body. The impact mixed broken fragments of surface eucrites with iron and olivine from deep within the body. Eucrites are believed to have come from the asteroid Vesta. Analysis has shown, however, that the Vaca Muerta eucrite inclusions are not consistent with other eucrites and possibly originated on a different parent body. Although most have a weathered exterior, they also have lots of metal inside and can be prepared and cut to show this.

This is a large 196.3 gram uniquely shaped Rizalite Tektite, with a beautiful pitted body, from Rizal Province, Philippines. Although not a meteorite, tektite is directly linked to them or their impacts, just consider its age of around 710,000 years old.

Rizalites are a variety of Philippinite tektites belonging to the Indochinite strewnfield. Like other splash-form tektites from around the world, they appear in a wide range of shapes. What sets them apart is their striking surface texture—often finer, more delicate, and accompanied by a brighter sheen. Many specimens display a smoother overall appearance, yet this elegance is frequently contrasted by dramatic deep grooves and winding channels etched into their surfaces.

Tektite is very interesting because of the persistent mystery that resisted clear explanations of their creation for generations of geologists. This piece displays very well and is a very nice size showing multiple characteristics of its origin.

This special piece comes with 2 specimen cards including the signed original Mark Bostick Collection. Would make a beautiful addition to any collection.

Indochinite is a variety of the mineral tektite, which is a natural glass formed by the intense heat and pressure of a meteorite impact.  These tektites are usually found as small, aerodynamically shaped objects, often teardrop or irregular in shape, resulting from the molten material solidifying as it cooled rapidly after being ejected from the impact site.

Indochinites are believed to have formed around 780,000 to 800,000 years ago, following a significant meteorite impact event that likely created the Southeast Asian tektite strewn field.  The strewn field is quite large, and the tektites can be found scattered over a vast area which includes Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand.   

This piece displays very well, showing multiple characteristics of its origin.  The specimen has a weigh of 40.2 grams and dimensions of 38x35x23.  Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.
