14.5 Pound Campo Del Cielo Meteorite. This large 6 x 5 x 3 inch, 14.5 pound Campo del Cielo fell to Earth over 4,000 years ago in the mountainous region of Gran Chaco, Argentina in one of the largest and undoubtedly most dramatic falls in the last 10,000 years. Meteorites from this fall were scattered over hundreds of square miles of inaccesible terrain. This quintessential large meteorite has three large regmaglypts (thumbprints) resembling the cratering on an asteroid. It was recovered from an area of the Campos site known for yielding specimens with the best shape and surface quality.

Add $25.00 for domestic shipping.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500.
