And this is one of the reasons but limited to of why I like to collect meteorite. No collection is the same and seeing your micro mount collection the the cork vials looks really cool and how you have it presented. Now have you found a way yet to present them if you were going to put them in a suit case of something of that nature? At any rate great collection with your micro mounts.

Hi List,

I finished converting my micromount storage from 3ml glass vials to
5ml glass vials - the latter have a larger storage capacity and have a
wider neck to accomodate larger fragments. I keep most of my tiny
frags, crumbs, and dust in these glass vials. As of now, I have 2
drawers filled with about 48 bottles each - this holds the majority of
my micromount inventory. On average, each vial will hold about 2-5g
of material, depending on the size of the fragments.

I like these small bottles because they are air-tight, compact, and
they let me see the contents at a glance. I also like the "old
school" look of glass with corks.

On the right is the NWA drawer, which holds all of my NWA micros. On
the left is the drawer that holds named finds and falls (or non-NWA
Saharans)
