Meteorite. Campo Del Cielo, Argentina. Large

Ref: MeteorCDC

Originally discovered in 1576 but thought to have fallen about 4000-6000 years ago. The ancient Indian name means 'Field of the sky or heaven'.
The meteorite is predominently Iron with 6.62% Nickel. It is a course Octahedrite with silicate inclusions.
In the 1770's a mass weighing about 14-18 tons was discovered and thought to be the original 'Meson de Fierro' named by the Spanish in 1576, but it was not excavated. There is speculation that the same mass was in the news in 1992 when an American Meteorite dealer negotiated a private purchase but was arrested by the Argentinian authorities when he tried to transport it. The mass remains in Argentina but some smaller pieces from the same 'shower' location occassionally come on the market and this is one of them.
Average weight is 200gms and measures 4-6cms. (Illustration is a guide to the average appearance.)
