Hi Count,

Hope you get your pieces Count and they are the real thing.....they do
have a very characteristic look, so it should not be a problem when
you see them....having mine in hand now makes it much easier.....and
mine was from a reliable and respected source.

I know there will be definitely larger pieces around....more than 100gs.

Post from Russia is the most worrying aspect though.

The small frags and individuals will have been picked up by now caused they plopped on top of the frozen snow. I don't think we will see the over 100gr. stuff being offered till the snow melts.
