The oldest stone tablet depicting the Ten Commandments of Jewish and Christian faiths will be auctioned, more than a hundred years after it was first discovered.As the article notes, this same artifact was sold in 2016 for $850,000. This article says that the buyer is unknown, but this Daily Mail article (which also has more photos) names a buyer:The marble tablet, which weighs 115 pounds and measures about two feet in height, will go on display at Sotheby’s New York beginning December 5. It will then hit the block in a single-lot sale on December 18, with an estimate of $1–2 million.

It was sold again in 2005 and then bought by its current owner, collector Dr Mitchell Stuart Kappell, in 2016.The 2005 IAA approval of the object's export to the USA requires it to be on public display.
As always, I very much encourage the new buyer to donate it to a museum.
