This is some of the most exciting material we have seen come out of NWA. R chondrites are rare, fresh R's are even rarer, but INDIVIDUAL BABY STONES might be once-in-a-lifetime.

WHITECOURT METEORITES ARE BACK! Earlier this past year, we decided to mount one final expedition to the Whitecourt area. Though the area is nearly "picked clean", we managed to grind a full 9 days out there and find some amazing specimens. Please click the link above to see all available specimens.
Circa 1960's Vintage Tektite Presentation
Historic Meteorites recently acquired a batch of vintage tektite presentation boxes. These old boxes would have likely been sold at rock, mineral, and novelty shops back in the early 1960's. There is a tektite from Thailand in each presentation (Siam was the name of Thailand before 1939). These are truly fantastic little presentations with real vintage "MoJo". Photo is of an example of what you will get - actual tektite shape will vary. ONLY $10 ea.

CHILKOOT, Alaska - 246.8 grams
Found 1881, Portage Bay, Alaska - Iron, IIIAB
Alaska's first meteorite and one of only four for the entire state. To our knowledge, this rare locality has only been offered in the past as small micros. Originally from the Dr. James Schwade collection and one of the meteorites photographed in his wonderful collection catalog. Has painted Schwade numbers on back.
This specimen is a robust nearly-complete slice, with a small section removed by a past custodian. The natural edge is fantastic and shows the deep regmaglypts the meteorite must have had.
