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

A Campo del Cielo, Argentina, iron meteorite pendant in 925 sterling silver. The compact fragment exhibits the typical visual characteristics of authentic meteorites: dark gray oxidized outer patina and an individual organic shape, untouched by human cutting or polishing.

Authentic meteorites can be distinguished from terrestrial iron pieces by several indicators. The presence of the minerals kamacite (α-iron, low-Ni) and taenite (γ-iron, high-Ni) is a primary identification. Widmanstätten patterns on a polished and etched cross-section provide a second piece of evidence. A typical cobalt-nickel content of 6 to 12 percent Ni completes the profile.

The Campo del Cielo strewn field in Argentina's Chaco region has been documented in European sources since the 16th century. The largest recovered fragments weigh several tons (Mesón de Fierro, El Chaco at 37 tons).

The 925 sterling silver setting follows a minimalist jewelry aesthetic. The cosmic material remains the primary visual element.
