[meteorite-list] questions about Riker boxes or similar cases

[Elizabeth Warner]

So, I've got a growing little collection of about 20 pieces that are 
currently still sitting in the original wrappings, boxes, envelopes, etc 
that they were shipped in from you to me... Not the best way to show 
them off.

I think I like the Riker type box but am worried about the glass 
scratching (slices) or getting scratched by small irregular shaped 
pieces. But I would have room in the box to include a note card with 
information. I also saw a simple case on Gary's website that I think I 
like...

I've also looked at the membrane boxes, but it doesn't seem as easy to 
label... ?? And I'm not sure how sturdy they are... I have one specimen, 
my first which was a gift from about 5 years ago, in one and even though 
it has been sitting undisturbed in a rarely accessed office drawer, the 
box seems pretty scratched up and the little edges on the top half have 
broken off.

I've been googling and searching... ideally, I would have a cabinet, 
where they could be displayed for folks to look at, but realistically, I 
think that some kind of box in which I can include a more detailed label 
would work for me.

Comments? Recommendations??

Clear Skies!
