Thanks for the kind words, Anne. I don't remember the issue, but I could send you the jpgs.

Gary and all,

If you want to see an excellent way to display Rikers, you only have to go
to your favorite magazine, just a few issues back (which issue exactly,
Anita?).
You'll see there how Anita managed to display a lot of Rikers on one wall.
And she explains exactly how she did it, with all the information,
dimensions, blue prints, directions.
It should be very easy for any one of you guys to replicate it!? ? ;-)

Great idea for a thread topic Dan, and nice display Mike.

For the humid, salt spray laden air here in Hawaii, I resist leaving?
my meteorites on display for the reason of oxidation.? I have LL?
chondrites and some diogenites that are weeping ferrous oxide, and a?
Tsarev that is literally self destructing from pristine slab to rusted?
shards in two months.? I don't even need to start telling you about?
irons - thank goodness for Rusty Mason, who restore some of them for?
me (Thanks Rusty!).

So most all of my collection are stored in various sized membraneboxes?
(some of which have desiccant and VCI foam), stored within Pelican?
cases (with padded dividers meant for cameras and lenses), which are?
kept in my constantly air-conditioned office at work.? I have a?
pedestal display cabinet in the lobby, where I display meteorite?
samples for the public who come through our institute's base?
facility.? For my collection of individual stones, I have a nice?
wooden box given to me by Nakhladog Rob Wesel.? Of course, my?
collection is outgrowing that storage solution, so I am looking at a?
wooden chest with padded, subdivided drawers.

gary
