Campo del Cielo Meteorite and Herkimer Diamond Sterling Silver Pendant Necklace

Campo del Cielo, which translates to "field of the sky," refers to a group of iron meteorites and the area in Argentina where they were found in a crater field estimated to be 4,000 - 5,000 years old.
Although the meteorites had been well-known to the people who were native to the area for centuries, the Campo del Cielo meteorites enter written record in 1576 when an Argentinian governor commissioned his military to search for a huge mass of iron that the native people were reportedly using for weapons. Since the crater field's modern discovery, hundreds of iron pieces have been discovered, weighing between a few milligrams and 34 tons.

Herkimer diamonds were formed in pockets of bedrock in a shallow sea, and were first discovered in the Mohawk River Valley in Herkimer County, NY, which is still the largest source. Although not actually diamonds, but a type of double-terminated quartz, they have earned the title due to their clarity and natural faceting.

Meteorites are said to hold the energy of the universe and having collided with the earth are said to provide grounding and stability to starseeds, empaths, and other highly sensitive people.
Iron, which the Campo del Cielo meteorites are primarily made of, is known as the "warrior metal" and holds its own metaphysical properties as a protector against evil. It also encourages willpower and leadership.

The Herkimer diamond has the amplification properties of clear quartz with an extra vibrational energy that comes from its natural structure. It is said to aid in spiritual flow, healing, and spiritual communication.

Altogether, this is a necklace that is perfect for the HSP, empath, or starseed in your life! It provides protection, courage, energy, and spiritual balance, all amplified by the quartz qualities of the Herkimer Diamond!

Photography

Although we always strive to provide clear, accurate images of our crystals and other products, we photograph under professional lighting, which is meant to mimic sunlight. If you get your crystal and think it looks a little different under low or artificial light, try checking it out again in sunlight!

Our crystals are one-of-a-kind art, created by nature.

No two pieces are the same, and there is no such thing as "perfection" in nature.

When it comes to our hand-carved items, remember that artists work with and around imperfections, druzy pockets, and other natural variations to bring each carving out of a piece of natural stone.

We consider these imperfections to be one of the most wonderful parts of crystal collecting, and we invite you to embrace each carving's uniqueness!

We will always try to portray each piece honestly, so be sure to look closely at our images and videos to ensure you know what to expect.
