I heard that it was one sample about 200 kg. It was broken on place of fall
and moved to Morocco were was sold to few mineral dealers.
It was classified in Germany (Munster I guess) as H5-6. Shock stage S2. It
is light inside with very nice fusion crust. I think in USA it is now
selling by name Mhamid.
