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

An iron meteorite pendant from Campo del Cielo, Argentina in 925 sterling silver. The fragment has distinct regmaglypts, thumbprint-like depressions that are considered authenticity markers for genuine meteorites.

Regmaglypts are formed by the differential heating of the outer surface during entry into the Earth's atmosphere. Softer melting material is carried away by the airstream, while harder material remains, resulting in the characteristic indentations. These marks cannot be artificially replicated.

Geochemically, Campo del Cielo material shows a 6.7% nickel content, 0.4% cobalt, plus traces of phosphorus, sulfur, carbon, and iridium. The iridium anomaly is particularly significant: the element is extremely rare on the Earth's surface but common in meteorites.

The 925 silver setting is handcrafted as a simple jewelry bail. The pendant is suitable for necklaces or as a solitaire piece of jewelry.
