El meteorito Campo del Cielo llegó a La Tierra hace aproximadamente 4.500 años, cayendo en la actual Argentina la lluvia de meteoritos metálicos más grande conocida. Fue utilizado por los precolombinos para la fabricación de utensilios de metal y creó verdadero asombro a los conquistadores españoles en su llegada a las américas. En este lote presentamos una pieza completa de meteorito metálico Campo del Cielo de tamaño ideal para una gran colección, con una forma escultural, con multitud de regmaglifos definidos y muy bonita, que ha sido limpiada y estabilizada para prevenir la oxidación. Un ejemplar limpio, sano y sin óxidos molestos, digno de una gran colección. Los meteoritos metálicos como este proceden del núcleo de grandes asteroides que se desintegraron en el proceso de formación del sistema solar, y tienen una edad similar a la de la propia Tierra. Desde que el gobierno de Argentina prohibiera la exportación de estos meteoritos, su valor está subiendo rápidamente. Un valor seguro también como inversión, ya que cada vez es más difícil encontrarlos a la venta. Una oportunidad excelente para añadir a tu colección esta maravilla del universo. Somos miembros de las principales asociaciones internacionales relacionadas con los meteoritos, por lo que garantizamos de por vida la autenticidad de todos nuestros meteoritos y joyería elaborada con este material.

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.
