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

An iron meteorite pendant from Campo del Cielo, Argentina in a 925 sterling silver setting. The individual meteorite fragment documents IAB asteroid core material, likely from the differentiated core of a shattered asteroid in the inner solar system.

The IAB main group classification in meteoritics includes iron meteorites with low nickel content (5-9%) and characteristic silicate inclusions. Campo del Cielo belongs to this IAB-MG group; the radiometric age dating of the parent body is approximately 4.55 billion years, almost the age of solar system formation.

The pendant thus carries material that is older than the Earth itself (4.54 billion years). Its cosmic provenance makes iron meteorites a distinct gemmological classification beyond terrestrial gemstones.

The handmade sterling silver setting follows traditional goldsmithing techniques.
