{"product_id":"campo-del-cielo-meteorite-from-argentina","title":"Real Campo del Cielo Meteorite Argentina","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eA real Campo del Cielo meteorite is one of the most sought-after specimens in the natural history collector world — and the reasons are as much historical as they are scientific. This genuine IAB iron meteorite from Argentina's Gran Chaco region is part of a fall that shook the earth between 4,000 and 5,000 years ago, leaving behind a strewn field with a total known weight exceeding 100 tons. By any measure, it is one of the greatest meteorite events in recorded history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eLong before modern science catalogued it, indigenous peoples of the region knew these iron stones as gifts from the sky — they named the site \"Campo del Cielo,\" meaning Field of the Sky. Spanish explorers encountered and documented the fall in 1576, making this one of the earliest meteorite discoveries in the Western world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eComposed primarily of iron and nickel and forged in the core of a long-lost asteroid, a real Campo del Cielo meteorite connects you to every chapter of that story — indigenous heritage, colonial exploration, and cutting-edge planetary science.
