A small illustrated plastic case containing a pebble and a pearl

A small, thin, rectangular, plastic case has a printed illustration showing in its clear lid. The illustration is of a control panel of an electric device with dials, buttons, indicator lights, and meters. The display screen of one meter bears the word, “FLUXTEST” and below that screen the phrase, “DETERMINE THE VALUES” appears over a row of buttons. Below the rows of buttons, a phrase reads, “BY: JOCK REYNOLDS”. Inside the case, in the black plastic tray is a pearl and a light colored pebble which is about the same size.
