Hi Tom and List
I got some of those acrlyic vacumm storage jars for foods for my "mass" storage of stones and irons (like when I moved). They seem to hold the vacumm very well, they use a little handheld pump and they can be seen through very well. They come in a variety of sizes. The ones I see for sale now use a pump which is built into the lid.
Either way, they are reusable and you can pump them back down, unlike the storage bags which are one time use.

Hi Bob and list, Although I haven't tried these I imagine they at least help keep away moisture. Probably better than Tupperware (which is what I currently use). I remember seeing a commercial for this clear globe like device that you pump the air out and it's supposed to vacuum seal the item. Marketed to collectors. I can't remember the name of the thing.
Regards to all,
Tom Randall

I was just sitting down eating breakfast and my wife was watching an
infomercial on a product that is called " Foodsaver ".
The product is used with thick plastic bags. The way it works is, the
machine vacuums out all of the air and the food is sealed air tight in a 3
layer plastic bag.
Of course I thought, this has to be the ultimate way to protect meteorites
from moisture.
Sure, it wouldn't be an appealing way to display meteorites. But, like
myself Im sure many collectors have numerous meteorites just stored away in
plastic containers.
I was wondering if anyone uses this machine currently to store meteorites.
I would like to see how effective it is.
Im sure its available on ebay listed under the name : Foodsaver
