Meteorites!
 Meteorites - one of the rarest and most sought after collectible items on Earth. All our meteorite specimens come with a certificate of authenticity WARNING! - SPECIAL NOTICE ! - WARNING! Like our Trinitite samples, and all expensive collectible items for that matter, buyers need to beware of unscrupulous firms & individuals selling 'inexpensive' Meteorite specimens. The old adage "you get what you pay for" certainly applies here. Because of rarity of authentic Meteorites, and their rapidly increasing value, there are an increasing number of people and firms selling bogus Meteorites on internet auction sites, as well as on a few web pages. To the untrained eye, many rocks may appear to be Meteorites, but certainly are not. 
| All our Meteorite samples include a certificate of authenticity, and are absolutely guaranteed to be genuine. |

Meteorites -
one of the rarest and most sought after collectible items on Earth.

Campo
del Cielo Meteorites
Iron/Nickel
Meteorites
are highly sought after and are both impressive and amazing items to
collect & own.
Unfortunately, they are quite expensive.
We've been able to obtain a quantity of smaller, much more affordable Campo Del Cielo
Meteorite
samples from Spain.
These samples all weigh in the general area
of 150 grams ( 5.5 ounces ) and measure around 2" to 3" across
( 50mm - 80 mm ).
The samples come complete with a small
Lucite display stand as shown and a certificate of authenticity.
Like all our meteorites,
these are authentic Campo del Cielo meteorites, excavated in the Chaco Province of Northern
Argentina.
Recovery Site Location: Latitude 27 degrees 39 minutes South, Longitude 61 degrees 44 minutes West.
Composition: 94% Iron, 6% Nickel
Time of Impact: 4,000 to 6,000 years ago.
Age of Specimens: 4.6 Billion years.
History: The first record of a specimen recovered was in 1576. A Spanish Governor learned of the 'Iron rocks' from the Indians, who reportedly believed the rocks had fallen from the Heavens. The Governor sent an expedition under the command of Captain De
Miraval, who brought back a few samples of a huge iron mass he called 'Meson De
Fierro' (Large Table of Iron). The location of the find was the Campo Del Cielo (Field of the Heavens).
These Meteorites are among the oldest items in the known universe with an estimated age of over 4.6 billion years.
