Description: The Campo del Cielo meteorite is an IAB meteorite that is thought to have formed 4.5 billion years ago during the creation of our solar system. With a total recovered weight at 220,562 lbs (100,000 kg) it is possibly the heaviest meteorite to have ever been recovered on Earth.The meteorite broke apart in the atmosphere and fell in the Chaco and Santiago del Estero Provinces of northwest Argentina. Radiocarbon dating of charred trees near the crater field placed the impact at around 2500 BCE. The oral history of indigenous groups informs us that the fall from the sky was witnessed and ignited massive forest fires.This authentic specimen is between 4-6 grams and comes with a display case to show its uniqueness.
