{"product_id":"campo-del-cielo-space-fragment","title":"Campo del Cielo Space Fragment Argentina","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis Campo del Cielo space fragment is exactly what the name suggests: a piece of space that landed on Earth. It fell between 4,000 and 5,000 years ago, crashing into the Gran Chaco region of Argentina and contributing to one of the most extraordinary meteorite events in recorded history. The total known weight of fragments from this single fall exceeds 100 tons — a figure that underscores just how significant the original impact was.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIndigenous peoples of the Gran Chaco were the first to document what had happened, in their own way: they named the region \"Campo del Cielo\" — Field of the Sky — and recognised these metallic stones as something that had come from above. Spanish explorers arrived in 1576 and added the site to the formal Western record, making it one of the earliest meteorite falls to be documented by European observers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eClassified as an IAB iron meteorite and composed primarily of iron and nickel, this space fragment was forged in the depths of a long-lost asteroid before beginning its journey to Argentina. It brings with it a story of cosmic origin, indigenous heritage, and colonial discovery — all in a single dense, metallic piece.\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 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\" class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e✓ Meteorite Type:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e Iron Meteorite (Coarse Octahedrite)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\" class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e✓ Composition:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e Primarily Iron and Nickel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\" class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e✓ Fall Age:\u003c\/b\u003e Approximately 4,000–5,000 years ago\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\" class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e✓ Total Known Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e Exceeds 100 tons (all recovered specimens)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\" class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e✓ First Documented:\u003c\/b\u003e 1576 by Spanish explorers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\" class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e✓ Age:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e Approximately 4.5 billion years old\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\" class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"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 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\" class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e✓ Specimen Size:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cstrong class=\"svelte-1fz0gqk\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"svelte-1fz0gqk\"\u003e≈\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e33mm x 16mm x 32mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\" class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e✓ Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e 53 gram\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\" class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\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=\"MsoNoSpacing\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\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;\"\u003eBring the wonders of deep space and ancient history into your collection — own an authentic Campo del Cielo space fragment from Argentina\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ForeverGems_Tuc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45236340916420,"sku":"S832","price":1150.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/1599\/4699\/files\/S832CampodelCieloMeteorite_1.webp?v=1759926460","url":"https:\/\/www.forevergems.co.za\/products\/campo-del-cielo-space-fragment","provider":"ForeverGems_SA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
