About Campo del Cielo meteorites
- Campo del Cielo means ‘field of the sky’. The fragments lie across a crater field in the Chaco and Santiago del Estero provinces.
- Radiocarbon dating suggests it fell about 4,200 to 4,700 years ago.
- It was first recorded by the Spanish in 1576, and more than 100 tonnes of fragments have been recovered, one of the largest meteorite finds known.
- It is an iron meteorite (group IAB), mostly iron with about 7 percent nickel, so a magnet will cling to it.
Why people love it
- It is a piece of the solar system you can actually hold.
- In crystal practice it is traditionally associated with the root chakra, grounding and resilience, and with Capricorn and Scorpio.
How to use it
- Bring a magnet and show kids how the iron reacts.
- Give it for a birthday, a graduation or to a teacher who loves space.
Care
- Keep it dry. Iron can rust, so avoid water, salt and damp rooms.
- Handle it with dry hands and store it with a silica gel packet.
- If a rust spot appears, wipe it with a dry cloth and a drop of light oil.
Every fragment has its own shape, so yours will be similar to the photo. Shipped across Canada from our family shop in Concord, ON, or pick up in store.
