I just wanted to thank David Bryant from Space Rocks UK for excellent service with regards a recent purchase of meteorites.

I was looking at one of the specialist study sets that had a good selection of different samples to use for outreach while doing events with my mobile planetarium and observing group. After a few emails David felt a custom box would be the best option as I was looking for a set with some samples that could be handheld. After listening to my requirements and taking into account my budget David put together a fantastic set including three larger samples that can be taken out of the display boxes and handed around.

His enthusiasm and knowledge for the subject was obvious from the start and I now have a perfect set for outreach. Highlights include several slices that show internal structure (including one showing the Widmanstatten Pattern), a piece of the Chelyabinsk object that exploded over Russia in 2013 and fragments of the Moon, Mars and asteroid 4-Vesta!

The set was ordered and paid for over the phone last Wednesday evening and arrived on Saturday morning, in plenty of time for this weeks school visits. Perfect!
