South America
Campo del Cielo MeteoriteIron, IAB-MG
Chaco, Argentina
Found: 1576
One of Geoff Notkin's favorite pieces in his impressive collection, this elongated and sculptural piece of Campo del Cielo is covered with smaller regmaglypts. The shape of this metallic wonder has an inherent dynamism, looking somewhat like a representation of a creature with a peristaltic form of locomotion. A truly beautiful example from every angle and multiple primary display faces, this piece weighing 1,030.3 grams (2.27 pounds) is simply a superb sample of an iconic iron meteorite. This "Campo" is stable, vivid, and solid with a planetary-like cratered surface complete with quite severe indentations. This can show extremely well in both horizontal or vertical orientation and is one ideal specimen of the legendary iron.
Measurements: 5.59 x 2.29 x 1.78 inches (14.21 x 5.81 x 4.51 cm), weighs 1,030.3 grams
Provenance: The Geoff Notkin Collection
