Sorry Adam, but this fall has been seen in every country and every tv in the world. I would not expect it to be expensive because for sure thousands of stones will be recovered. The price on black beauty is insane, already dropping and I have Moroccans begging me to buy it. This Russian fall has excited the world, my sales are surging because of interest. I will take a bet with you, this Russian meteorite will fill every collection in the world and Black beauty will be owned by very few people. I know where I am going to put my money.
