Campo del Cielo Meteorite - Genuine IAB Iron Nickel Specimen Forged in the Heart of an Asteroid, Perfected by Time and Space
Size: 29mm x 16mm x 18mm Approximately
Weight: 20gram
The Campo del Cielo Meteorite is a fascinating piece of cosmic history, believed to have fallen to Earth over 4,000 to 5,000 years ago. Discovered in 1576 by Spanish explorers, this remarkable iron meteorite originates from a massive impact event that scattered fragments across the Gran Chaco region of Argentina. Indigenous peoples knew of its existence long before, calling the area "Campo del Cielo" or "Field of the Sky."
With a total known weight exceeding 100 tons, Campo del Cielo is one of the largest meteorite falls ever recorded. These space-born relics belong to the IAB iron meteorite classification, composed primarily of iron and nickel, making them both scientifically significant and visually striking.
A true collector’s gem, each Campo del Cielo meteorite is a tangible piece of the cosmos—a relic from the depths of space, forged in the heart of a long-lost asteroid!
