I went there in August last year. I held the stone, ~500 grams impact-melt breccia.
The owner was extremely greedy, he wanted $80,000 and not a penny less. He had seen some TV programs.....
I left empty handed.
Sad and typical of many lower income people to demand astronomical figures or suffer otherwise.

> The Comayagua fall from Honduras is likely never to be seen again. Supposedly sold to a university in Tegucigalpa. I offered a very high price and highly doubt a university would be able to pay in one of the poorest countries in Latin America. It seems to have vanished. What a loss as it penetrated a house and the entire bed while a man was laying in it!
