LAS PALMAS (Campo del Cielo) - Argentina? Paraguay?

Siderite (Iron) n.c.

Anno:?

Quantità ritrovata: circa 1000 kg

Potrebbe essere un nuovo ritrovamento, oppure una vecchia conoscenza come Campo del Cielo. A mio parere il tipo di ossidazione è diverso da Campo, il metallo molto più stabile, nel complesso visivamente è una meteorite diversa. E' presente in tutte le collezioni e presso gli istituti di ricerca che la stanno analizzando per dipanare ogni dubbio. Esteticamente stupenda, in patina naturale.

Di seguito le caratteristiche della scoperta e la zona geografica di ritrovamento:

"LAS PALMAS METEORITE WAS FOUND OVER 200 MILES AWAY FROM THE NEAREST CAMPO STREWNFIELD!!! THE VERY SMALL FIELD IN WHICH THESE WERE FOUND DOES NOT FOLLOW THE MAIN AXIS OF THE CAMPO DEL CIELO STREWNFIELD BUT INTERSECTS IT WHICH IS WHY SCIENTISTS ARE SUGGESTING THAT THIS COULD POSSIBLY BE A NEW METEORITE!!! IT IS NOW BEING STUDIED IN ARIZONA AND A FINDING SHOULD BE ISSUED SOON!!! 

LAS PALMAS METEORITES WERE FOUND IN A VERY DRY LOCATION AND ARE WELL PRESERVED.  THEY ARE THE HIGHEST QUALITY IRONS I HAVE EVER SEEN. THEY ARE ALL HIGHLY SCULPTED WITH SPECTACULAR SHAPES AND NUMEROUS THUMBPRINTS. THEY WERE FOUND IN A VERY SMALL STREWNFIELD OF ABOUT ONE HECTARE OR 100 SQUARE METERS. THE FIELD HAS NOW BEEN HUNTED OUT AND MOST LIKELY NO MORE WILL BE FOUND.

I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO PURCHASE ALL OF THE REMAINING INVENTORY FROM THE FINDER AND VERY LITTLE WILL BE AVAILABLE. TOTAL KNOWN WEIGHT FOR THIS FIND IS PROBABLY UNDER A 1000 KILOS WHICH IS VERY LITTLE FOR ANY IRON METEORITE FIND. "
