Lot 3 | THE HEART OF CAMPO DEL CIELO
Valeur estimée
$ 800 – 1 200
A graphite patina with ochre accents shrouds the meteorite’s smooth surface, the result of its multi-millennial exposure to Earth’s elements. Spanish Conquistadors in Argentina were the first to document Campo del Cielo meteorites in the 16th Century, but never contemplated thoughts of extraterrestrial origin — a notion first seriously considered hundreds of years later.
