Product Description

The Campo del Cielo refers to a group of iron meteorites in Chaco Province of Northern Argentina—about 500 miles northwest of Buenos Aires—which fell an estimated 4,000-6,000 years ago at Campo del Cielo (meaning field of sky or heaven) in Gran Chaco, Gualambia. Twelve very large craters have been found by searchers. The largest Campo meteorite weighs about thirty tons; understandably, it is one of Argentina's national treasures.

This meteorite is classed as a coarse octahedrite. The composition is about 94% iron and 6% nickel. A number of scarce minerals are present as well, including kamacite, taenite, plessite, triolite, graphite, and silicates. Campo meteorites are well known for their silicate inclusions and are estimated to date back 4.6 billion years.
