AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Campo del Cielo meteorite arrived on Earth about 4,500 years ago, in what is now Argentina, the largest known fall of metallic meteorites. It was used by the pre-Columbians to make metal utensils and inspired genuine awe in the Spanish conquerors upon their arrival to the Americas.
In this lot we present a complete piece of Campo del Cielo metallic meteorite of ideal size for a great collection, with a natural sculptural shape, very beautiful, numerous regmaglifos, and that has been cleaned and stabilized to prevent oxidation. A clean, sound specimen without troublesome oxides, worthy of a great collection, with excellent quality.
Metallic meteorites like this originate from the cores of large asteroids that disintegrated during the formation of the solar system, and are roughly as old as the Earth itself, i.e., more than 4 billion years old.
Since the Argentine government banned the export of these meteorites, their value has been rising rapidly. A safe investment as well, since they are increasingly hard to find for sale.
An excellent opportunity to add this wonder of the universe to your collection.
We are members of the leading international associations related to meteorites, and we guarantee for life the authenticity of all our meteorites and jewelry made from this material. Buy with guarantees.
