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: 7.75 grams
The impact spread thousands of fragments over an area of about 60 km long. Campo del Cielo is one of the best-known and best-documented meteorite strewn fields in the world. The indigenous people had known the metal chunks for centuries before the Spanish explorers described them in the 16th century.
The jewelry
Pendant: natural meteorite with a rough, sculptural surface. The hollows and depressions 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 lovers of astronomy, minerals and history, 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 a piece of jewelry and a collector's item.
Condition
Very good. The surface is natural and unpolished as is common with meteorites.
