Description from the seller

A dark fragment, forged in stellar crucibles billions of years ago, that has come down to us as a silent messenger of the universe. This Campo del Cielo meteorite bears on its surface the scars of interstellar travel: deep regmaglypts, carved by passing through Earth's atmosphere, seem like footprints left by the fire of the sky. Its primordial alloy of iron and nickel is the same that made up the cores of the first stars, and within its core lies the memory of supernova explosions that gifted the cosmos with the material of life. Every facet, every shining relief, is a page written in the eternal language of celestial geology. Observing it, we face a witness that has traversed eternity: an object born before Earth even existed, then fallen from the sky to tell us the oldest story of all, that of our very universe. A piece that is not just extraterrestrial rock, but a symbol of a profound bond between sky and earth, between the infinite and our fragile existence.

A section of the gallery was dedicated to the Wunderkammer, "chamber of wonders or cabinet of curiosities" in which Mirabilia elements are presented: naturalia and italiania, a union between "the present is the past".
