Many stones fell between the villages of I...papo (8°7’50.84"N, 3°30’34.58"E) and Tede to the north (8°33’21.49"N, 3°26’46.31"E). Stones were collected at multiple locations.

I am happy to hold sending orders and combine future auctions into one shipment if desired as long as payment occurs at each auction close.I recommend insurance as I will not be held responsible for uninsured lost or damaged parcels. Cost of U.S. delivery insurance is 2% of the total or $2.00, whichever is more. Changes to the USPS International insurance policy now require a rather expensive upgrade to Express Mail before they will agree to insure. For those who wish to insure foreign delivery please message me and I’ll be happy to send you the price.
