With Bjurbole it works best like this: Put a fragment in a plastic display box, fix and pack it the best you can. Wrap it into paper, put it in a padded envelope and send it around with german post.
The addressee will recieve a heap of dust with the isolated chondrules swimming on top. But the chondrules in Bjurbole aren't very large. I didn't try it with Saratov yet, but I guess, the larger the specimen, the farer you should send it. Buckleboo!
