Campo de Cielo Meteorite Necklace - One of a Kind

Accessorize like the stars with this cosmic meteorite necklace! This pendant is a small chunk of the Campo del Cielo meteorite which was discovered in Northeast Argentina. The meteorite created a total of 26 craters in the region. The name Campo del Cielo – which is Spanish for “Field of Heaven” refers to a group of iron meteorites or to the area where they were found situated on the border between the provinces of Chaco and Santiago del Estero.

Long before being reported officially and documented, the aboriginal inhabitants knew the “Field of Heaven” and its many craters well. The indigenous peoples used these iron-based stones for their weapons and worshiped these stones that came from the sky.

We hung this metorite specimen on an oxidized sterling chain and affixed a carefully engraved sterling tag that has the name of the meteorite, the year it was found, and the coordinates where it was found. 

Note that meteorites naturally contain large amounts of iron and may rust with sustained contact with water. We suggest occasionally applying a light layer of oil on your meteorite and to keep it out of the shower or the pool.
