They&#8217;re fairly expensive, so this was a good cost option (as opposed to a whole meteorite). This meteorite is from the Camp Del Cielo meteorite that was first documented in 1576 in Argentina. Being 91% iron, 7% nickle plus 2% &#8220;other&#8221;, it&#8217;s fairly heavy for it&#8217;s size (mine is 58.7g), and it&#8217;s ferrous (so magnets attract to it very well!).<\/p>\n<p>A couple more shots of it:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/nuclearprojects.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/meteorite2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/nuclearprojects.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/meteorite2-297x300.jpg\" alt=\"meteorite2\" width=\"297\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nuclearprojects.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/meteorite2-297x300.jpg 297w, https:\/\/nuclearprojects.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/meteorite2.jpg 379w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 297px) 100vw, 297px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/nuclearprojects.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/meteor.png\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just received my first meteorite today!
