{"product_id":"campo-del-cielo-iron-space-rock","title":"Authentic Campo del Cielo Space Rock Argentina","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis is what an authentic space rock looks like: heavy, iron-rich, and carrying a history that stretches back thousands of years. The Campo del Cielo meteorite fell to Earth between 4,000 and 5,000 years ago, striking the Gran Chaco region of Argentina and leaving behind one of the most celebrated strewn fields in meteorite history. Indigenous peoples were the first to recognise the significance of these metallic stones, naming the region \"Campo del Cielo\" — \"Field of the Sky.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWhen Spanish explorers documented the site in 1576, it became one of the earliest recorded meteorite discoveries in the Western world. Since then, scientists have recovered specimens with a total known weight exceeding 100 tons, making this one of the largest meteorite falls on record. Each piece is classified as an IAB iron meteorite — composed primarily of iron and nickel, forged deep inside a long-lost asteroid before being blasted into space and eventually drawn to Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis authentic Campo del Cielo space rock from Argentina carries every layer of that story. It is equally at home in a scientist's study, a collector's cabinet, or as an unforgettable gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eThe Details You Need\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003e✓ Meteorite Type:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003e Iron Meteorite (Coarse Octahedrite)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003e✓ Composition:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003e Primarily Iron and Nickel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e✓ Fall Age:\u003c\/b\u003e Approximately 4,000–5,000 years ago\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e✓ Total Known Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e Exceeds 100 tons (all recovered specimens)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e✓ First Documented:\u003c\/b\u003e 1576 by Spanish explorers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003e✓ Age:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003e Approximately 4.5 billion years old\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e✓ Fall Location:\u003c\/b\u003e Chaco Province, Argentina\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e✓ Specimen Size:\u003c\/b\u003e ≈21mm x 26mm x 13mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e✓ Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e 18 gram\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e✓ Want to know more about Campo del Cielo:  \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.forevergems.co.za\/blogs\/news\/campo-del-cielo-meteorite-the-iron-giants-that-fell-from-the-sky\" title=\"Read here\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eRead here\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Cambria',serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: 'MS Mincho'; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-ZA; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003eAdd this authentic Campo del Cielo space rock to your collection and own something genuinely out of this world\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ForeverGems_Tuc26","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46206505910468,"sku":"S875","price":360.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/1599\/4699\/files\/S875CampodelCieloMeteorite_2.webp?v=1780573102","url":"https:\/\/www.forevergems.co.za\/products\/campo-del-cielo-iron-space-rock","provider":"ForeverGems_SA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
