I'm not certain how cost might be - but what if they were "shadow box" mounted and then you could do an engraving on the glass front of the box. This would keep the slate safer from damage and at the same time provide an ability to "personalize" the slate.

We took them to someone to see if we could have them engraved in some way, but they are too brittle. Just wondered if anyone had any ideas or had used Slate before as an historic gift/momento?
