• Photo Note: I was limited to featuring only 25 photos ( maximum). The main image shows the complete collection in the display case. The subsequent collages show front/back details of many specimens and their associated labels alongside a penny for scale comparison. Please refer to the list above, as many individual items are aggregated in group shots to fit the listing constraints.

Shipping:

The display case will be securely bubble-wrapped to prevent cracking, and extra care will be taken to ensure the individual screw-top vials remain snug in their compartments during transit.

It's a nice collection that I'm tempted to keep for myself. FYI.
