[meteorite-list] Labeling specimens

[meteoriteman at comcast.net]

Mike, I'm very familiar with that wooden case that you use for meteorites. It's in fact a machinist's tool box. They are also made of metal and are high quality. 

Cheers,

Hi GeoZay and List, 

Here is a semi-recent photo showing the cabinet and some of the jars 
and rikers.  Some of these specimens have been sold/traded and some 
have been moved into the cabinet shown.  It is not the biggest 
cabinet, but with careful use of space, I have managed to cram a lot 
into it.  Larger cabinets get very very expensive.  I'd love a bigger 
one, but I need to get lucky and find some old relic at a thrift store 
or rummage sale.

Here is one of the small drawers with micros -

Here is a photo showing some of micromounts and crumb collections in 
labelled glass vials.  This portion of my collection has grown 
recently and has outgrown this wall rack.
