A small piece of space in your hand makes astronomy suddenly tangible for many people. This gift box contains a fragment of the Campo del Cielo meteorite, an iron meteorite that fell in northern Argentina thousands of years ago and disintegrated into many fragments.
Iron meteorites are mostly made of iron and nickel and therefore feel heavier than an ordinary stone of the same size. If you prefer to wear it, the same iron meteorite is also available. as a pendant on a silver necklace.
Ice meteorites are magnetic, so you can test that yourself with a magnet. Store the piece in a dry place, because iron can rust. A nice souvenir after a star-watching evening or for children who are interested in astronomy. More background information about asteroids and the solar system can be found in our astronomy knowledge center.
If you want to start with a small collection, then a real Martian meteorite A nice addition.
