A 513 g Campo del Cielo iron meteorite from Gran Chaco, Argentina.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

For sale is an impressive 513-gram specimen of the genuine Campo del Cielo iron meteorite (IAB-MG Groboktaedrit) from Argentina, that fell to Earth about 4,500 years ago.

The piece captivates with its aesthetic, three-dimensional sculptural form and wonderfully pronounced regmaglypts — the characteristic melt hollows from atmospheric entry. The meteorite has been professionally cleaned and stabilized against oxidation. The metallic surface is thus showcased to its best, with no future maintenance required. With a mass of over half a kilogram, the specimen sits exceptionally heavy in the hand and is a real highlight for any collection or desk.

An authenticity certificate is included. Shipping is securely packaged as an insured parcel with tracking.
