Hi Said All this may be true, but many collectors and dealers are hesitant only because of the past and rightfully so. Now it may be true that hundreds of kilos did not fall, but you can only cry "wolf" so many times before no one hears you. 8-10/g is a pipe dream my friend. I haven't seen a Moroccan fall that sold for that yet in any measurable quantity. Maybe I missed it, so please correct me if I am wrong.
For the record, I have 3 Moroccan sources that I trust. Enough to wire 10s of thousands to them. Each has said that this IS a new fall, quantities are "small" (open to interpretation). I would assume that means under 40kg for Moroccans. If they are making up stories then my business will end as I do not want to do business with liars. Time will tell.

Hi everybody , I was away of pc for tow days to come back and found this hot debate about this new fall in Morocco.Some people's aime is to downgrade this new fall in Morocco HOWEVER,This would make it very known over all the world and it would make a good marketing for it since there is only few kilos found.If anyone claimes that there is hundrads or several kilos he should prove it to the list and show the photos of the lot.. Few of US dealers said that thier friends in Morocco told them that there was no fall in Tichka,For those i want to say that your friends in Morocco are not able nor lucky to get any of this fall..I am also coming to Tucson show and i will prove to everybody that there was a new fall and you all will get sure that there is not much of this material available. The price would probably go up to $8 or 10/gr at tucson show after everybody gets certain that yes it is a new fall and only little of it is available..
