There is about 5% of the strewn field on Santiago del Estero province. Not
many samples were really recovered there. Of course the ones in my
collection are from Santiago del Estero.
When you export mineral specimens from Argentina you have to declare
province of origin. If a dealer can not trace back a specimen to a legal
export of Campo del Cielo form Santiago del Estero province (or one from
chaco before 1993), the problem still remains. Maybe Eric will get out of
problems saying who sells the specimens to him, but in one part of the
chain someone will be in trouble.
The new law now covers ALL finds from Argentina, including newly recovered
campos from Santiago del Estero province.
