Campo Iron Meteorite Pendant (Large) - From The Core Of An Asteroid! Pendant Only

Wear a piece of outer space! This is a beautiful Campo Del Cielo iron meteorite made into a unique pendant. You will receive one (1) La the campo pendant.

Campo is a nickel/iron meteorite that originated from the core of a very large asteroid!  Just wait for people to stop you in your tracks and ask what you are wearing!

*No two are alike! We will choose at random your pendant. They will all have the exact same appearance, just minor differences in shape. These pendants do not come with a chain*

*Please Note: We have a second option available on the website, which is a small Campo pendant.  If you are looking for something smaller - we have it! Please search our listings for the small pendant option.  

*Also Note: A signed informational card will be included with the order of any one single campo meteorite pendant.  For any quantities ordered that exceed one, you may request additional cards if you’d like, but you need to reach out immediately after placing your order. 

Fun Facts about the famous Campo Del Cielo meteorite:  
Campo Del Cielo's crater field is so large that it covers an area of 11.5 by 1.9 miles and contains at least 26 craters, the largest being 377 by 299 feet in diameter!

The name Campo del Cielo is Spanish for "Field of Heaven," a fitting description for the region where fragments of the meteorite were originally discovered.

The meteorite impact is estimated to have occurred between 4,000 and 5,000 years ago.

The total estimated mass of the original celestial body was several tons.

Scientists believe the meteorite fractured into many pieces as it entered the Earth's atmosphere, resulting in a large scattering of fragments across the impact area.

About Iron Meteorites:

Iron meteorites consist almost entirely of nickel and iron and are thought to originate from the cores of ancient, differentiated asteroids. In the early solar system, these large asteroids underwent internal melting, causing heavier elements like iron and nickel to sink toward their centers—much like the Earth’s own core. Over time, catastrophic collisions shattered these bodies, sending fragments hurtling through space until some eventually landed on Earth as meteorites.

One of the most striking features of iron meteorites is the Widmanstätten pattern—a distinctive interlocking crystalline structure of nickel-iron alloys that can be revealed through careful acid etching. This process requires expert preparation, including stabilization, slicing, and polishing, as even slight errors can damage the specimen. The pattern itself is often called the meteorite’s “thumbprint” because it is entirely unique and cannot be replicated in laboratory conditions. Its formation requires incredibly slow cooling—about one degree Celsius every 10,000 years—making it a visual testament to the vast timescales and processes that shaped our solar system.
