NO ONE has 3 kilos, I have one piece of 928 grams, and 900 grams of
fragments.
I paid dearly. Also I have added up all of the pieces I know about, and I
doubt there are too many yet found that I havnt seen except the pieces the
museums and people got the first day. I belive now that there is less than
25 kilos known. I would like to know if anyone knows more.
