Hello Joel and list
Mike and I are killing time waiting for our 11 1/2 hour flight to London to board.
The largest single Thuathe stone is 2.3 kg. It is a beautiful 99% crusted wonder.
Although we tried to buy it we were told it was not for sale. There are no other
single pieces over 1 kg, however I have 2 pieces that fit together that weigh 1.5kg.
They are both crusted fragments that were part of a much larger stone. David Ambrose
in his listing of Thuathe pieces has a piece listed at an estimated 3.5 kg. It was
broken into a number of pieces by the village chief looking for diamonds inside. At
this point I don't know if my two pieces are from that stone or not. I will have to
contact Dr Ambrose and see if he has any fragment weights connected with his 3.5 kg
estimate.
Mike and I plan to upload Thuathe pages to our websites around noon on Monday
after we return. We have a couple hundred small stones and a handfull or two of
stones over 100 grams, but nothing over 200 grams that will be available for sale.
