Description: You are viewing a solid iron Campo Del Cielo meteorite from Argentina! You will receive one (1) individual meteorite per purchase. No two are alike, and vary in weight from 10-25 grams. They will all look similar to what you see in the photo. Campo is one of the most highly collectible meteorites on the market, and is a perfect starting point for anyone getting into the hobby. Fun Fact: Campo Del Cielo's crater field is so large that it covers an area of 11.5 by 1.9 miles and contains at least 26 craters, the largest being 377 by 299 feet in diameter! About Iron Meteorites: Iron meteorites consist of almost entirely nickel and iron. During the early years of our solar system, large asteroids melted and its nickel and iron sank to the core of the asteroid. Depending on the specific group and sub type of an iron meteorite, its crystal structure (also known as a Widmanstätten pattern) can be revealed through acid etching - a process that requires skillful work from a professional who will properly stabilize, slice and polish a meteorite prior to the etching phase. This pattern is what we call a meteorite's thumbprint - a unique pattern that cannot be reproduced on any terrestrial iron and requires cooling of 1 single degree every 10,000 years.
