Ilt is possible to provide units, for example, for 50 or 100 stones, but also for more stones or less stones. It is likewise within the scope of the invention to arrange, in one bottom part, recesses, for example, for two different sizes.
  • the container is closed by a lid 2, which is preferably constructed as a sliding lid slidable in interlocking guides in the bottom part. As shown in FIG. 1, when the lid is in its closing position, it rests against the bottom part 1 to block the entrances of recesses 3. Thus, stones will not dislodge due to an accidental jolting of the container.
  • a bore 6 is provided in the lid 2, and a bore 6a is in the bottom part of the container.
  • the lid 2 is pushed in, as in FIGURE 5
