This is a 1500 kg meteorite fallen in Campo del Cielo, Chaco, Argentina.
It is about 4.5 billion years old (yes, about as old as our planet).
It is the oldest thing I have ever seen and touched in my life. It is the only thing from space that I have ever touched. It is metallic: iron and nickel.
It is impressive.
