This trip to Thuathe is by far the best meteorite hunt that I have ever = been on and these folks really needed the $$$ that this meteorite brought to them. However, this Park Forrest debacle is one that I am glad I decided not = to go on! I debated about going and decided early on that the media was going to cause problems and that the chance of getting any was not likely to occur unless you got = there within the 1st few hours. A great fall, but I am glad I sat this one out! With what I have heard, seen and the phone = calls that I have placed and received... DO NOT expect any cheap prices = any time soon... As of this morning most of the material is now in = muesum hands. Maybe some will surface in the months to come.... THUATHE is still the best deal going!! Beautiful stones, from beautiful = people with good stories and The strewnfield work is by far the BEST = that I have ever seen.
