Burning Glass & Case

I have always wanted to add a burning glass to my fire starting kit, so when at the Kalamazoo show a few weekends back I picked up this small burning glass for $2.00. I decided I need to make up a leather case for it to keep the edges of the glass from chipping or it breaking altogether.
Not sure as of yet if I will add it to my kit or maybe carry it my pocket with my folding knife or add it to my shot bag. Time will tell.
This is what I came up with. I tooled the sun on the front just because!
