I have heard that the original Ebony that was produced died shortly after, but now Graziani has atleast one that I know of, but from the sounds of it, he has more than one and they bred, so maybe thats a good sign, because I have always loved the Ebony ball.
When I saw the original Ebony that amir made, it didn't look like it was going to make it. It was several weeks old, but not in good shape as far as weight and energy. Not sure what happened beyond that.
