About the meteorite
Origin: Campo del Cielo ("heavenly plain"), Chaco/Santiago del Estero province, Argentina
Type: iron meteorite (octahedrite, IAB group)
Composition: mainly iron and nickel
Age: the meteorite formed over 4.5 billion years ago in the core of a planetoid. It impacted Earth about 4,000 to 5,000 years ago.
Meteorite weight: 9.08 grams
The impact scattered thousands of fragments over an area about 60 km long. Campo del Cielo is one of the best-known and best-documented meteorite showers in the world. The indigenous people knew the metal masses for centuries before Spanish explorers described them in the 16th century.
The jewelry
Pendant: natural meteorite with a rough, sculptural surface. The hollows and notches were formed during the flight through the atmosphere and the millennia on Earth.
Chain: elegant black steel chain, strong, modern and timeless. The dark color complements the metallic character of the meteorite.
Chain length: [23 cm]
Pendant dimensions: [24 x 20 mm]
Why this pendant?
Meteorite jewelry is a unique gift for astronomy, mineral, and history enthusiasts, and for anyone seeking a distinctive piece of jewelry. Each meteorite is a unique specimen, so no two pendants are the same. This is both jewelry and a collectible.
Condition
Very good. The surface is natural and untreated as is common with meteorites.
