(Christmas 2024 note : taking into account the shipping lead time and peak season delays, I cannot guarantee delivery of this item before Christmas. These kits are made to order and take approx. 3 days to assemble and then shipping times run about a week, so it will likely take 10-12 days for this item to arrive in your hands after you place the order. Please keep this in mind if purchasing one of these as a gift.)
This set of meteorites and impactites includes 72 different specimens presented in a handsome glass-top display case.
This is a great way to acquire an entire collection of meteorites in one package - this group of specimens includes witnessed falls, rare types, Vestans, American, and desert finds. It would take months or years to acquire all of these meteorites individually.
Each micromount specimen has it's own labeled gemjar for storage and display. These gemjars are then presented in large wood display box (approx. 8 x 14 inches) with glass viewing lid and a black pebblegrain finish. The case holds 72 specimens in two layers full of individual gemjar specimens.
Meteorites Included : You get 72 (seventy two) different meteorite specimens. This will include a mix of common and rare types. You will get chondrites, achondrites, irons, pallasite, Lunar, Martian, and others representing a broad range of petrologic types. You will also receive a mix of finds and witnessed falls that cover historical and recent times. The specimens included will be selected from my stock of localities available on this site in the "Micromounts" category and some taken from my personal collection.
