To supply a local school in each of our areas would be just as nice to do and also provide a little something to our communities.

Walmart offers plastic 12 section trays for $2 (at my walmart) that work very well to display meteorites.
The 12 sections offers plenty of room to provide a nice selection of meteorite types and cuts.
For less then $20 out of pocket, you can make one of these up and give it to your local school. They will LOVE it.

I made one for my daughters school and also one with Earth rocks.
I will post pics of the trays I give to schools if anyone wants to see to recreate it.

Hope everyone is doing good!
