Description

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

A gloriously attractive, and particularly desirable, specimen of Campo del Cielo Meteorite, this piece weighing 426 grams boasts a relatively huge hole right through the middle of the solid metallic form. While the hole already makes this something unusual and special, the placement of the rare hole is a statistical oddity as most holes, if any form at all, are typically closer to the edge of the meteorite. An impressive offering, this meteorite looks like an artistic sculpture and rests in numerous orientations.
Measurements: 2.28 x 2.13 x 1.86 inches (5.78 x 5.42 x 4.72 cm), weighs 425.9 grams
