AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

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 an authentic metallic meteorite from Campo del Cielo, of an ideal size for collectors, in perfect condition, and with an aesthetic shape that also allows it to stand upright on its own in an ideal position.

Metallic meteorites like this one originate from the core of large asteroids that disintegrated due to multiple impacts during the formation process of the solar system as we know it today. An excellent opportunity to add this wonder 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. Shop with confidence.
