(NOTE - each one of these collection is custom-built for the buyer. There is a 3-5 business day lead time before these kits are ready to ship. Please keep this delay in mind when ordering.)
(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 handsome display case (14" x 8" x 2" inches) has a black pebblegrain finish over wood and a glass lid. Underneath the glass lid in a black foam cutout are 36 different meteorite specimens. Each specimen comes in a labeled gemjar. The labels are facing up in the gemjars, so the specimens can be identified easily without removing the jars from the display. Of course, each specimen can be removed and handled if desired.
This is an entire meteorite collection in one kit. This would make an ideal starter collection, outreach prop or teaching tool. It's also a good way to acquire a large number of rare types and falls to fill holes in an existing collection.
Refer to the photos. The black centimeter scale cube is not included.
Meteorites Included : You get 36 (thirty six) different meteorite specimens from 36 different localities. 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.
