Hi Ryan and list,

Thanks a lot - I'm glad you liked it.  I tried to make something I would
enjoy having in my collection.  I have quite a few kits in my collection
that I've bought from different people on the list.  Other than a couple
of large individuals and my personal finds, they're the pieces in my
collection that I show off the most.  They're easy to transport and
display well with the associated photos and documents.  My most recent
 kit came from Philippe at Meteoritica and it features Benguerir - just
a fabulous presentation utilizing a wooden shadow box!  I don't know if
he has any more though...

My next project will be to make some sort of a display for my piece of
Oued el Hadjar which is available from Michel Franco at Caillou-Noir.
It is a fall with a very unusual story behind it (featured in the August
2000 issue of Meteorite! magazine).

Good night, morning and evening to my fellow meteorite enthusiasts!
