Locality: Gran Chaco Gualamba, Argentina. Size Class: Large Cabinet. Collection: Schertz Collection. A chance to own your own falling star! This is an unusually fine, aesthetic, display quality "Campos" specimen of the famous Campo del Cielo meteorite find. It weighs 24.5 pounds and is displayed nicely (and removably) upright on a custom lucite base made for the purpose. According to Wikipedia: "The Campo del Cielo refers to a group of iron meteorites or to the area where they were found situated on the border between the provinces of Chaco and Santiago del Estero, 1,000 kilometers (620 mi) northwest of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The crater field covers an area of 3 x 20 kilometers and contains at least 26 craters, the largest being 115 x 91 meters. The craters' age is estimated as 4,000–5,000 years. The craters, containing iron masses, were reported in 1576, but were already well known to the aboriginal inhabitants of the area. The craters and the area around contain numerous fragments of an iron meteorite." The ultimate conversation piece that's literally out of this world! Size 23.5 x 17.5 x 11.2 cm.
