My three first meteorites was a mundrabilla 47 g, Canyon 48g and Deport (A) 1,5 g from Zelimir Gabelica, bought in april 1994. Actually I'm 200 pieces in my collection, and the prefered is Hainaut, H3-6 chondrite fell in Belgium/France, third world main mass... I don't sale my collection for all world gold!!!!!!
Best wishes,
Vincent Jacques
