Campo del Cielo Meteorite with a Moving Piece – A Celestial Relic from the Stars
Size: 30mm x 20mm x 32mm Approximately
Weight: 48 gram
Formed in the vast reaches of space, the Campo del Cielo meteorite was once part of a massive asteroid that journeyed through the cosmos for billions of years before crashing into Earth. The impact created a sprawling field of iron-nickel meteorites in what is now northern Argentina, where fragments have been studied and collected for centuries. These meteorites, composed primarily of iron, nickel, and trace elements like cobalt and gallium, showcase the raw power and beauty of celestial materials.
This specimen is particularly special because it features a moving internal piece, a natural phenomenon caused by impact stress and environmental changes over thousands of years. As the meteorite endured the pressures of space, Earth’s atmosphere, and eventual oxidation, small sections within its metallic structure became loosely trapped, creating a shiftable fragment inside. This interactive characteristic makes it a rare and mesmerizing artifact, allowing you to experience a tangible connection to an object that has traveled across the universe.
