Campo del Cielo (Silicated)Campo del Cielo, Iron (IAB) coarse octahedrite. This meteorite was found in Chaco Province, Argentina in 1576. Thousands of pieces have been found, including a 15 TON specimen. Most Campo is very old rusted-out material, very unstable and ugly. However three years ago, a new area was located up in the hills, and the specimens are in almost pristine condition in this area! Some pieces have traces of fusion crust and many flow lines! I moved over two TONS of material two years ago, and then the source dried up almost overnight. These are silicate inclusions in Campo, large nodules that are olivine-rich! VERY interesting material. |
