Meteorite (campo del cielo)

An iron meteorite (Campo del Cielo) from Argentina. You will receive one meteorite, similar to those pictured.

Campo del Cielo meteorites are a group of iron meteorites that fell to Earth in present-day Argentina approximately 5,000 to 4,000 years ago. The impact created a field of craters stretching across 18.5 kilometers. The meteorites, composed mainly of iron and nickel, are known for their distinctive Widmanstätten patterns, which are visible when a polished and etched surface reveals intricate crystalline structures. They are believed to be 4.5 billion years old and may have came from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
