The Wabar pearls are impactites created by the impact that created the Wabar crater. These glass droplets are composed of microscopic iron-nickel particles derived from local sand and iron meteorites.

This fossilized charcoal is a rare witness to the precise moment of the cataclysm that marked the beginning of the extinction of the dinosaurs.
This fossilized material comes from forest residues, rich in iridium, charred following a giant meteorite impact in the Yucatan Peninsula ~65 million years ago.
Outcrops of the K-T (Cretaceous-Tertiary) boundary rich in this lignite have appeared in different regions of Mexico in the Sierra Madre Oriental.
This lignite is currently protected and therefore rare to find on the market.

NWA 16172 is a carbonaceous meteorite of a new carbonaceous class called CL.
CL-type meteorites are characterized by a large number of chondrules with little matrix and unusual metal grains for a carbonaceous meteorite.
This is a rare classification, with few items available for sale.

Amgala is a rare meteorite from Mars, classified as Shergottite (olivine-phyric).
It was discovered in the Western Sahara in 2022
A meteorite offering exceptional value for money !
Amgala 001 26.014°N, 11.020°W
Saguia el Hamra, Western Sahara
Purchased: 2022 Dec
Classification: Martian meteorite (Shergottite)
History: Multiple stones were found together in December 2022 near Meharrize. Said Muftah Bachir and Ziyao Wang bought 12 kg together from the finders, including the largest 5200 g individual; Mark Lyon acquired 19165 g from two different dealers; Aziz Habibi obtained 3500 g from another dealer.
Physical characteristics: Weathered exterior surfaces of the stones are brown with a distinctive knobby appearance. Fresh interiors are greenish-gray with darker olivine phenocrysts visible.
Petrography: (A. Irving, UWS, and P. Carpenter, WUSL) Zoned olivine phenocrysts (up to 2 mm in length) are set in a groundmass with variable grainsize composed predominantly of prismatic, zoned clinopyroxene and lath-like maskelynite, together with accessory alkali feldspar, pyrrhotite, ulvöspinel, chromite (with variable Ti content), ilmenite, baddeleyite and chlorapatite. Thin opaque shock veins crosscut the specimen as well as secondary calcite veinlets. Olivine phenocrysts contain small patches of alteration products (red-brown in thin section).
Geochemistry: Olivine (Fa31.7-56.6, FeO/MnO = 52-55, N = 5), pigeonite (Fs27.7-48.4Wo10.4-9.8, FeO/MnO = 29-35, N = 3), subcalcic augite (Fs20.7-30.4Wo32.5-34.6, FeO/MnO = 28-32, N = 2), maskelynite (An47.4-50.5Or2.2-1.7, N = 2), alkali feldspar (Ab49.4Or34.0An16.7).
Classification: Shergottite (olivine-phyric).
Specimens: 68.3 g including one polished thin section at UWB; remainder with Mr. S. Bachir/WangZ (12 kg), Mr. M. Lyon (19165 g) and Mr. A. Habibi (3500 g).
