This handsome 12" x 8" Riker box display has a black pebblegrain finish and a glass lid. Underneath the glass lid in black foam cutouts are 28 different meteorite specimens. Each specimen is generously sized and comes in a labelled 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 or examined if desired. Bensour (LL6 chondrite) - witnessed fall

Refer to the photos. Please forgive the glare - it's hard to photograph something through glass, so I took one photo showing a kit with the glass lid on, and another photo showing a kit with the lid removed.
