Meteorite Campo Del Cielo Pendant. The oldest mineral in our solar system formed at around 4.5 billion years ago. It is said that meteorites were originally parts of ancient planets cores which were destroyed by giant Asteroids. The core of Earth is also Iron. Only 4% of all meteorites that reach Earths surface are Iron meteorites, that's what these are. This one has such a unique shape with amazing features. A true work of art from the Cosmos. The weight is 17.03 grams, the meteorite is 1.5"long and just under 1" wide. This pendant can be personalized with a tag for $15. It comes with a complimentary 20" sterling silver snake chain or 18" leather necklace, you choose. I have a number of different color necklaces to choose from. The perfect unique gift for those interested in Science Fiction and Space. This meteorite is gorgeous, fully regmaglypted, with no rust! Looks amazing in the sunlight and will be sure to get attention. Free shipping!
All of our meteorite pendants are created by skillfully and securely connecting the rings to the meteorite. We do not drill a hole into the meteorite because that alters the natural form of the specimen. It not only alters it physically but spiritually as well, effecting it's energy negatively.
Time that Meteorite hit the Earth: 4,000 to 6,000 years ago. Location: Campo del Cielo, Gran Chaco Gualamba, Argentina, about 500 miles north-northwest of Buenos Aries.
A Spanish governor learned of the iron from the natives who reportedly believed that it had fallen from the heavens. The governor sent an expedition under the command of Captain de Miraval who returned with a couple pieces of a large iron mass he called Meson de Fierro (large table of iron). The location of the find was the Campo del Cielo(field of the sky or heaven),a fitting name for the location of the meteorite. Since the natives believed that the iron pieces fell from the heavens, the name was suitable for the meteorites. The area that the meteorites are found is an open brush covered plain with very little water and no other rocks. An excellent place to be able to locate meteorites. Campo del Cielo meteorites are described as polycrystalline course octahedrite.
