Campo del Cielo Meteorite - 4,800 Grams
Iron, IAB-MG
Chaco, Argentina
Found: 1576

Just about as spectacular of a Campo del Cielo Iron Meteorite as likely to be found anywhere, this stunning complete individual with a considerable weight of 4.8 kilograms (10.6 pounds) is an ideal representation of the 'classic' variety. With a sublime shape, superb color, heavily "regmaglypted" texture, and perfect collection size, this tremendous specimen is simply amazing. The piece has a very artistic form and appears to be extremely stable. The IAB-MG from Argentina is truly a thing of beauty, with every angle offering striking visual appeal. Every generalist meteorite collection needs a serious "Campo," and this example would be a wonderful addition to any display case. Measuring 7.5 inches (19 cm) long, this phenomenal meteorite, from the iconic fall, is commensurately large for its substantial weight.
Measurements: 7.48 x 4.72 x 3.35 inches (19.00 x 12.00 x 8.50 cm), weighs 4,800 grams
