--------------Campo del Cielo meteorite-----------------

Campo del Cielo is a meteorite found in Argentina and means sky meadow in Spanish.

Based on legends handed down to local residents that a lump of iron came down from the sky in the 16th century, the Spanish governor dispatched a survey team, and it seems that meteorites were discovered as legend.
The purpose of the investigation is to secure an iron mine, and it has been confirmed that it is a meteorite by the sample brought back was later studied.

To date, more than 100 tons have been found, and large debris is on display in museums.
Iron is an iron meteorite that occupies a large part of the component and is classified as octahedrite.

The time when it fell is measured from about 4,000 to 6,000 years ago by the carbon measurement method. For small debris, it is sold as specimens and accessories.
It is relatively inexpensive among meteorites and has become a popular commodity.
However, since Argentina has outlet revised the law regulating the export of meteorites, it is predicted that the rarity value will increase in the future.

When falling, it is melted or shaved by friction, so each one has a different expression.
Campo del Cielo is strong and resistant to weathering, but it also has a weak point that it is easy to rust.
