(Who might care) I would suggest one thing with this "New" Fall from Morocco. Before buying any....wait until it is classified and wait until a ~ total known weight is known. Buying in the beginning can sometimes be smart....but often, until all the facts are known you will get a price burn. You might want to wait a bit...... If there is 100 kilos or more of this new fall....it will be on ebay for $2.00 a gram (perhaps) in the near future. However, if there is only 10 kilos you might want to grab it now! You see....there is information missing here..... and you could get a bad price burn by not having this information. When Zag first came out it was $3-$5.00 per gram and then it shot up to $11.00, and now you can buy Zag for $1.00 to $5.00 per gram...... Also, I do not have any...nor do I plan on getting any in the near future..... my advice about waiting is from personal experience with a meteorite collection now numbering well over 700 falls and finds. I mean..... CR2,s were $200 to $500.00 per gram last year and now you could of bought some last week for $20.00 per gram! Be careful! In anycase....just a few personal thoughts....
