Campo del Cielo Iron Meteorite from Argentina - Pendant in 925 Sterling Silver

A Campo del Cielo, Argentina iron meteorite pendant in a 925 sterling silver setting. The individual fragment documents the cosmic history of a shattered asteroid, probably the IAB main group parent body.

Asteroidal iron meteorites originate from the differentiated core of asteroids that melted in the early stages of the solar system due to radioactive heating (aluminum-26 decay). The heavy iron-nickel melts sank to the core, while the lighter silicates formed the mantle. During subsequent collisions, these core materials were released and reached Earth as meteorites.

The Campo del Cielo meteorites have a documented impact age of approximately 4000 years (radiocarbon-measurable charcoal in the impact craters). The strewn field includes over 24 documented craters with diameters up to 115 m.

The 925 sterling silver setting is handcrafted using traditional goldsmithing techniques. The pendant format is suitable for necklaces or keychains.

An Argentinian collector's item with IAB asteroid genesis and documented geo-archaeological provenance.
