35.21ct iron meteorite fragment, originating from the Campo Del Cielo meteorite strike, a notable impact event that occurred approximately 3000-5000 years ago, about 1000 kilometers north-west of Buenos Aires, Argentina. 15 x 11mm. Very magnetic stone. 93% iron, 6% nickel, and 1% other materials, genuine rough stone. The Campo del Cielo site straddles the provinces of Chaco and Santiago del Estero, 1,000 kilometers ( 620 mi ) north-northwest of Buenos Aires, half that distance, north-east, to Paraguay's capital, Asuncion. ​​​​The age of the meteorite is estimated to be 4.5 billion years old, formed as part of the development of our solar system.
