{"product_id":"ancient-campo-del-cielo-meteorite","title":"Ancient Campo del Cielo Meteorite Fragment","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAncient takes on a very specific meaning with a Campo del Cielo meteorite fragment. This piece fell to Earth between 4,000 and 5,000 years ago, striking the Gran Chaco region of Argentina in an impact event that indigenous peoples witnessed and remembered for generations. They named the region \"Campo del Cielo\" — Field of the Sky — a name that has endured for millennia and captures perfectly what these metallic stones represent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSpanish explorers encountered the site in 1576, recording it as one of the earliest documented meteorite falls in the Western world. Today, the total known weight of Campo del Cielo specimens exceeds 100 tons, placing this ancient fall among the largest ever recorded. Each fragment is classified as an IAB iron meteorite: a dense iron-nickel alloy formed at the core of a long-lost asteroid, older than the fall itself by billions of years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWhat you're holding when you hold this ancient Campo del Cielo meteorite fragment is a piece of material with two distinct timelines: a cosmic one stretching back to the dawn of the solar system, and a human one stretching back to the Gran Chaco over four millennia ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Specimen Details\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✓ Meteorite Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e IAB Iron Meteorite\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✓ Composition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Primarily Iron and Nickel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✓ Fall Age:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 4,000–5,000 years ago\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✓ Total Known Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exceeds 100 tons (all recovered specimens)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✓ First Documented:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1576 by Spanish explorers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✓ Fall Location:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gran Chaco region, Argentina\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✓ Specimen Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong class=\"svelte-1fz0gqk\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"svelte-1fz0gqk\"\u003e≈\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"svelte-1fz0gqk\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"svelte-1fz0gqk\"\u003e36mm x 19mm x 30mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✓ Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50 gram\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e✓ Want to know more about Campo del Cielo:  \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ca title=\"Read here\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forevergems.co.za\/blogs\/news\/campo-del-cielo-meteorite-the-iron-giants-that-fell-from-the-sky\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eRead here\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003eTransform your collection with an ancient Campo del Cielo meteorite fragment — a piece of the sky that landed in Argentina thousands of years ago.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ForeverGems_Tuc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45236343472324,"sku":"S833","price":1090.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/1599\/4699\/files\/S833CampodelCieloMeteorite_1.webp?v=1759926647","url":"https:\/\/www.forevergems.co.za\/products\/ancient-campo-del-cielo-meteorite","provider":"ForeverGems_SA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
