Framed Elephant’s Trunk photo with Campo del Cielo and Gebel Kamil meteorites – black frame with mount

This framed Elephant’s Trunk photo brings together two genuine fragments under the glass: Campo del Cielo and Gebel Kamil. The black frame and its white mount give the piece a gallery-style finish, with the fragments set in a white disc on the photo. It is therefore a one-of-a-kind piece, both decorative and scientific.

What the photo shows

In Cepheus, about 2,400 light-years away, the Elephant’s Trunk (IC 1396A) is a column of gas and dust sculpted by the wind of a massive star – new stars are still forming inside it. To go further, our page on the Elephant’s Trunk Nebula also tells you more.

Two genuine fragments: Campo del Cielo and Gebel Kamil

Thus, two fragments share the same disc. Campo del Cielo is an iron meteorite that fell about 4,000 years ago in northern Argentina. Gebel Kamil is a very nickel-rich iron meteorite from a small crater in the Egyptian desert. Each one also has its own certificate.
