History: The first record of the Campo was in 1576. A Spanish governor learned of the iron from the Indians who reportedly believed that it had fallen from heaven. The governor sent an expedition under the command of one Captain de Miraval who brought back a few pieces of a huge iron mass he called Meson de Fierro (large table of iron). The location of the find was the Campo del Cielo (field of the sky or heaven), a fitting name for the location of a meteorite. Since the Indians believed that the irons fell from heaven the name may have come from the meteorites. The area is an open brush-covered plain that has little water and no other rocks--very good country in which to locate meteorites. 

The next record of Campo Del Campo meteorites was about 200 years later in the late 1770's. The Spanish thought some pieces might be silver ore, but once they tried to process it, they found that it was iron. A Spanish Navy lieutenant excavated one specimen which he believed weighted 14 to 18 tons. This may have been the Meson de Fierro. He left the mass in place and it was not seen again. In the 1800's smaller irons were found. In the 1900's, systematic exploration revealed many more large masses; however the Meson de Fierro remained lost.

The massive 7.22 lbs piece is a stunning representation of the solar system's beauty and diversity.
