  • FIGURE 2 is a top view of FIGURE 1.
  • FIGURE 3 shows, on an enlarged scale, a recess in the bottom part of the container in lateral section with a partly broken-away stone provided therein;
  • FIGURE 4 is a perspective view of the embodiment.
  • FIGURE 5 corresponds to FIGURE 1, but the lid is in its closing position.
  • FIGURE 6 is a top view of FIGURE 3.
  • recesses 3 are provided in a regular arrangement, the dimensions of these recesses corresponding to the dimensions of the stones '5 to be -placed therein. 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
  • the container is closed and the bores 6, 6a are aligned to form a channel through which a wire 9, a cord, or the like is passed.
  • a massive or iiat seal 10 secures the container.
  • longitudinal and/or transverse grooves 4, 8 are arranged between the recesses, the bottom of these grooves being somewhat below the rondure or level of maximum diameter of the stones so that the removal of stones by means of tweezers is facilitated.
  • the location of the grooves relative to the rondure is shown in the detail views of FIGS. 3 and 6.
