While Campo del Cielo is a well-known fall, rare quality specimens from the strewn field are increasingly difficult to find. The Gran Chaco site has been actively worked since its documentation by Spanish explorers in 1576, and though the total known weight of recovered specimens exceeds 100 tons, well-preserved individual pieces of genuine character are finite and once collected, they are gone.
The fall itself occurred between 4,000 and 5,000 years ago, striking northern Argentina in an impact witnessed by the indigenous peoples of the Gran Chaco, who named the region "Campo del Cielo" Field of the Sky. Every rare Campo del Cielo meteorite you encounter today is a remnant of that event: classified as an IAB iron meteorite, composed primarily of iron and nickel, and forged in the core of a long-lost asteroid long before it landed in Argentina.
Rarity in meteorites is real and measurable. The Campo del Cielo field is a finite resource. This is your opportunity to own a genuine piece of one of the most celebrated falls in history, while genuine specimens are still available.
