Meteorites combine enormous physical forces from space with fascinating spiritual significance.
Grounding and stability: Although they originate from space, meteorites are said to have a strong grounding effect that helps stay centered in hectic times.
Shield: They are said to act as an energetic barrier against negative influences and help clear the mind.
Courage and intuition: The cosmic energy is said to strengthen self-confidence, sharpen intuition, and foster courage to face new challenges.
Classification: Coarse octahedrite of the IAB group
Composition: 92.6% iron, 6.68% nickel, 0.43% cobalt, 0.25% phosphorus, 87 ppm gallium, 407 ppm germanium and 3.6 ppm iridium.
Parts of the Campo-del-Cielo meteorite, an iron meteorite, were first discovered in 1576 in present-day Argentina.
