The Campo del Cielo meteorite reached Earth approximately 4,500 years ago, causing the largest known shower of metallic meteorites to fall in present-day Argentina. It was used by pre-Columbians to make metal utensils and truly amazed the Spanish conquistadors upon their arrival in the Americas.
In this lot, we present a complete piece of Campo del Cielo metal meteorite, of ideal size for a great collection, with a sculptural shape, with a multitude of defined regmaglypts and very beautiful, which has been cleaned and stabilized to prevent oxidation. A clean, healthy specimen without bothersome oxides, worthy of a great collection.
Metallic meteorites like this one come from the cores of large asteroids that disintegrated during the formation of the solar system, and are about the same age as Earth itself.
Since the Argentine government banned the export of these meteorites, their value has been rising rapidly. They are also a safe investment, as it is increasingly difficult to find them for sale.
An excellent opportunity to add this wonder of the universe to your collection.
We are members of the main international associations related to meteorites, so we guarantee the authenticity of all our meteorites and jewelry made from this material for life. Buy with guarantees.
