These are meteorites chips that fell in Argentina.

Local Indigenous have records where the meteorite shower took place. It caused 26 craters, due to the impact in the area. The impact is estimated to have been 4,200 to 4,500 years ago.
In 1576, the governor of a province in northern Argentina commissioned the military to search for a huge mass of iron, which he had heard that natives used for their weapons
The average composition of the Campo del Cielo meteorites is 6.67% Ni, 0.43% Co, 0.25% P, 0.87% Ga, and 407 ppm Ge, with the remaining 92 to 97% being iron.
These were treated to prevent rust formation, but Campo del Cielo meteorites are up to 97% iron so they will rust if you do not take care of them.
To prevent rust formation you can keep them in a dry environment.
