Meteorite Care

This meteorite has been treated with a thin protective layer of oil. Because iron meteorites are composed primarily of iron and nickel, they are naturally prone to oxidation and require periodic maintenance to preserve their condition. Store the specimen in a dry environment away from moisture and humidity, and avoid handling it with damp hands. For routine maintenance, apply a thin coat of mineral oil every few months using a soft, lint-free cloth, then remove any excess. If signs of rust appear, carefully remove the affected area with a soft brass brush and reapply a light layer of mineral oil.

The Campo del Cielo meteorites, meaning “Field of Heaven,” are incredible fragments of a meteorite that crashed to Earth in Uruguay 4,000–5,000 years ago. These pieces of the cosmos traveled millions of miles from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter before their fiery arrival, leaving behind craters—one over 100 feet wide.

Made of iron and nickel, they have a beautiful metallic shimmer that feels like holding a piece of the night sky. Ancient cultures cherished them, seeing them as gifts from the heavens. Today, these meteorites are treasured for their cosmic history, perfect for display or as a unique connection to the wonders of space.
