I wouldn't do it for rock or meteorite. The resin/Lucite/acrylic will likely
crack unless you put your material in a vacuum and remove as much water as
possible. Even some of the Apollo lunar material Lucites cracked and they
had been in vacuum for millions of years. I have looked into it extensively
and was advised that the failure rate is incredible for this kind of
material.

Good luck!

Hey List,

Does anyone here have experience encasing meteorites in clear resin,
paperweight style?

If so, could you contact me off the list?

Thanks,
