[meteorite-list] Small Plastic display cases

[Becky and Kirk]

Hi All,
I have about 1000 gem jar like cases that could be used for displaying small 
meteorites or anything else that you would want to keep in a small 
container. They are very similar to the small gem jars that most people use 
to display small 5 gram or less meteorite pieces.

They have a clear bottom and a small white screw-on cap. Once you screw the 
cap on. you can turn the case upside-down with the white cap on the bottom 
to nicely display any small item. Looks pretty nice. I have a 2 huge heavy 
bags of these-----1 bag of gem jars and 1 bag of matching caps.

If someone is interested in ANY or ALL of them, please email me for further 
details or pictures. This lot could set you up for the rest of your 
life-----I have two big shopping bags.

Let me know-----these are pretty nice---can be used for anything really!!

Best!
Kirk.......:-)
