On 13 September 1937, a meteor entered the earth's atmosphere and broke up during it's journey to the ground. Some 15 pieces fell near Kainsaz in the Muslyumovskij district, Tatarstan Republic, Russia. This meteorite is a deep rich brown Carbonaceous chondrite of the Ornans type, hence the CO3.2 classification. Each of these part slices has been expertly polished on both sides. Any one of these specimens will add a new dimension to your collection.

This meteorite fell in Arusha, Tanzania, on 11 September 1963, and witnesses found only one stone weighing a scant 2.2 kilograms. Karatu is an Ordinary chondrite, LL6, is beautifully brecciated, and has a light gray matrix with very little metal flecking. It is seldom available to collectors as virtually all of it remains in museums.

A single stone was found North and East of Kenna in Roosevelt County, New Mexico, about 1972. Kenna is a rare classification of meteorite - a Urellite. Kenna, and other Urellites, are Olivine-pigeonite achondrites with carbon in the form of graphite and contain microscopic diamonds. Some meteorite scientists theorize that Kenna may have originated from a source in the orbit of Mercury, or possibly Mercury itself. Whatever the source, Kenna is a beautiful meteorite with a bluish cast to the matrix. Seldom available in the meteorite collector market, here is an opportunity to acquire an excellent specimen from a classic location.

Few meteorites are available from Japan; Kesen being one of only two Japanese meteorites readily available to collectors. This meteorite fell on 13 June 1850 in Kesen, Iwate-ken, Honshu, Japan, so it is an old and well documented witnessed fall. Kesen is an H4 chondrite with shock veins. Most of this meteorite is held in Japanese repositories so we feel fortunate to be able to offer these specimens at prices well below the norm.
