{"product_id":"large-campo-del-cielo-meteorite-fragment","title":"Genuine Campo del Cielo Meteorite Piece","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eArgentina has gifted the world one of its greatest meteorite treasures: the Campo del Cielo fall, a dramatic impact event that struck the Gran Chaco region between 4,000 and 5,000 years ago. With a total known weight exceeding 100 tons across all recovered specimens, it stands as one of the largest meteorite falls in history — and this genuine Argentina meteorite piece is your connection to that legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe name \"Campo del Cielo\" was not given by scientists or explorers — it was given by the indigenous peoples who lived in the Gran Chaco long before European contact, and who understood these metallic stones to have fallen from the sky. Spanish explorers confirmed and documented the site in 1576, making this one of the earliest meteorite falls to enter the Western historical record.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eEach genuine Argentina meteorite from Campo del Cielo is classified as an IAB iron meteorite: composed primarily of iron and nickel, and forged in the heart of a long-lost asteroid. The piece you receive carries every layer of that history — cosmic, indigenous, colonial, and scientific — in a single remarkable object.\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 ≈23mm x 15mm x 17mm\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 17 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 timeless piece of the universe and bring authentic cosmic history into your collection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ForeverGems_Tuc26","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46206308778180,"sku":"S885","price":350.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/1599\/4699\/files\/S885CampodelCieloMeteorite_2.webp?v=1780574818","url":"https:\/\/www.forevergems.co.za\/products\/large-campo-del-cielo-meteorite-fragment","provider":"ForeverGems_SA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
