XL 'Oriented' IRON METEORITE Campo del Cielo (Argentina, 4500 years) Clean and stabilized. Without reserve price! - 370 g

The Campo del Cielo meteorite arrived on Earth approximately 4,500 years ago, falling in present-day Argentina and marking the largest known rain of metallic meteorites. It was used by the Pre-Columbian peoples to make metal utensils and caused genuine amazement among the Spanish conquistadors upon their arrival in the Americas.

In this lot, we present a complete piece of Campo del Cielo metallic meteorite, of an ideal size for a great collection, with a shield-shaped orientation, which tells us about how the meteorite traversed the Earth's atmosphere—something extremely rare to see in this type of meteorites. It has been cleaned and stabilized to prevent oxidation. A clean, healthy specimen without bothersome oxides, worthy of a great collection.

Metallic meteorites like this one originate from the core of large asteroids that disintegrated during the formation of the solar system, and they are approximately as old as the Earth itself.

Since the Argentine government prohibited the export of these meteorites, their value has been rising rapidly. They are also a safe investment, as it is becoming increasingly difficult to find them for sale.

An excellent opportunity to add this marvel of the universe to your collection.

We are members of the leading international associations related to meteorites, so we guarantee the authenticity of all our meteorites and jewelry made from this material for life. Buy with confidence.
