Description
I will ramdomly pick up a box for you but will do my best to provide with the larger specimens as long as I get them. Size of specimens vary from 2 to 4 mm.
Sold in a box with label / signed certificate of authenticity. Price is for one box.

Those specimens were collected on the ground around the lake in June and July of 2000 by Dan Connelly (a Canadian man). He collected a broken stone and all the little fragments on a beach. The team of Jim Brook knew that stone but they decided to left it there as they prefered to get stones and fragments covered by ice.
The Tagish Lake C2 (ungrouped) carbonaceous chondrite fall of January 18, 2000, delivered about 10 kg of one of the most primitive and physically weak meteorites yet studied. In this
paper, we report the detailed circumstances of the fall and the recovery of all documented Tagish Lake fragments from a strewnfield at least 16 km long and 3 to 4 km wide. Nearly 1 kg of “pristine” meteorites were collected one week after the fall before new snow covered the strewnfield; the majority of the recovered mass was collected during the spring melt. Ground eyewitnesses and a variety of instrument-recorded observations of the Tagish Lake fireball provide a refined estimate of the fireball trajectory. From its calculated orbit and its similarity to the remotely sensed properties of the D- and P-class asteroids, the Tagish Lake carbonaceous chondrite apparently represents these outer belt asteroids. The cosmogenic nuclide results and modeled production indicate a prefall radius of 2.1–2.4 m (corresponding to 60–90 tons) consistent with the observed fireball energy release.
