DANCING BEAR Real Meteorite Extra Large (60-70g) Genuine from Campo Del Cielo Argentina, Certificate of Authenticity, Display Stand, ID Card, Space Rock, Assembled in The USA

What a great piece of the very difficult finds. This came with a certificate of authenticity and it’s a perfect piece to go along with my collection. Meteorites are hard to come by and I was surprised to find this as cheap as it was and being fully intact. It’s composed of what our planet core is, iron and nickel, but it’s a known meteor that is documented. I couldn’t be more pleased as I have a piece of space debris from the Campo Del Cielo Crater that also is the very material King Tuts dagger was made from. It’s value is minimal on here but to me it’s a priceless piece of significance because of the history. I’ve spent much more for much less and I’d say if you want a real meteor that traveled the cosmos and just can’t go to these places like myself then go to them. This is a real documented meteor with the USGS and other organizations. There are many places you can get samples of this meteor but I’d beware because I have been victim of fakes. I was directed by a meteor site to them and they are legit.

Got as a wedding anniversary present :). The chest it came in is a little weird, I just kept it in the plastic clear case instead of sand gave my wife the chest. You really aren’t able to use both it’s a one or the other sort of deal. Really fascinating gift though

We have a little curio table display we’ve started for our kids who are homeschooled. We’ve been collecting all sorts of things from nature as a hands on science approach. This was a great addition. We ordered the XL one and it came true to size weighing 74g. It’s a great size for little kids to be able to handle. Our two year old might have loved it the most. The little treasure chest it came it made it lots of fun for my kids. And they loved learning about it from the info in the certificate of authenticity. We 100% recommend this to anyone thinking about it.

I bought one and out of curiosity and did a little examination on it at work. First, looking at it under a stereoscope, it's evident that there's been some cleaning done on the fragment. It's not one solid chunk like you'd expect if it were material cast into a shape to resemble a meteorite. There are lots of seams and fissures in the structure. I then did a quick grind and polish on the flat side, and the plane grinding step knocked a small piece loose. Examining the flat prepped surface, the fissures visible at the edges extend across the entire piece (again not consistent with any sort of cast replica). I moved on to the smaller piece that broke loose - mounted it in bakelite, ground and polished, and etched it with 2% nital (nitric acid in methanol). The metallurgical phase structure doesn't resemble any of the run-of-the-mill iron or steel materials a replica would be made from; the non-uniformity, the multiple seams and inclusions in it would be really tough to fake. I don't have the tools to do a chemical composition on it, but everything I observed suggests it's genuine.

Plastic display case not fit in wooden trunk and item slides around in plastic case unsecured . Aggravates my grandchild.

I have been a rockhound for several years. My grandson enjoys coming over and handling and looking at my collection. He shows particular interest in the few meteorites I have. A true collector never breaks up their collection so I decided he is old enough for his own star to the hobby. This bit of meteorite is perfect as a first step to the hobby. It is large than I expected and the info card that comes with it is great. He can tell his friends all about his "space rock". The small trinket box is a very nice touch and might help him keep track of it. I could not be happier with the quality and price of this product!!!!!

I'm a rock Hound and this is something I had to have. Wanted one for a long time now. I couldn't be happier. It's bigger than I expected. I actually like the display case it came with (not pictured)

The little note is really the cherry on top. Its great to know it used to weigh 50 tons!!!! Its very good for any person of any age. Space lovers will adore this!!
