This remarkable specimen is a genuine fragment from the famous Campo del Cielo meteorite field, whose name translates to “Field of the Sky” or “Heaven.” The meteorites were discovered near the border of the Chaco and Santiago del Estero provinces in Argentina — an area long revered for its extraterrestrial history.
Origin: Chaco and Santiago del Estero, Argentina
Age: The impact event is estimated to have occurred between 4,000 and 5,000 years ago, when a massive iron-nickel meteorite entered Earth’s atmosphere and fragmented upon impact.
Composed primarily of iron and nickel, Campo del Cielo meteorites are known for their dense metallic structure and rich fusion patterns. Each fragment bears unique surface textures created by its fiery descent through the atmosphere and thousands of years resting in the Argentinian soil.
A perfect collectible for meteorite enthusiasts, educators, or anyone fascinated by the tangible connection between Earth and the cosmos — a true piece of the heavens.
