Michael & All, As a "PS" to that last note, I want to defend Aziz Habibi, from whom I purchased this stone shortly after it was recovered in the first batch that Mohammed Zeroual acquired not long after the fall. I have no doubt whatsoever that this was at least indeed the main mass at that time, and not even rumors of anything larger surfaced until earlier this year. He did not tell me what I wanted to hear by any means, as this was simply fact at that time. For those to whom it is important to acquire main masses (and there are obviously several collectors in this regard, of which I am one occasionally), there is an inherent and understood risk of an early acquisition by virtue of the possibility (even probability) that larger specimens will later be recovered. It is what it is... Dave

The Moroccans are very good at telling you want you want to hear in order to sell you a meteorite. I got tired of the endless BS over there, have not been back in two years, will not likely ever go back for meteorites again. Incredible stone though.
