Classified as an IAB iron meteorite — composed primarily of iron and nickel — it was forged in the metallic heart of a long-lost asteroid and fell to Earth between 4,000 and 5,000 years ago, impacting the Gran Chaco region of northern Argentina in a dramatic event that scattered fragments across a vast strewn field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIndigenous communities knew the site for millennia before the wider world caught up. They named it \"Campo del Cielo\" — Field of the Sky — a name that perfectly captures the origin of these remarkable stones. Spanish explorers formally documented the fall in 1576, making it one of the earliest recorded meteorite discoveries in history. Today, with a total known weight exceeding 100 tons across all recovered specimens, Campo del Cielo ranks among the largest meteorite falls ever documented.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFor collectors, a genuine Campo del Cielo iron meteorite from Argentina offers unmatched provenance: an IAB-classified specimen with centuries of documented human history and the irreplaceable character of a real cosmic relic.\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 ≈42mm x 20mm x22mm\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 41 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\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eOwn a piece of ancient cosmic history and inspire curiosity with every glance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ForeverGems_Tuc26","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46206505451716,"sku":"S876","price":760.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/1599\/4699\/files\/S876CampodelCieloMeteorite_2.webp?v=1780573385","url":"https:\/\/www.forevergems.co.za\/products\/campo-del-cielo-space-meteorite-fragment","provider":"ForeverGems_SA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
