[Rockhounds] alternatives to labels and mishaps

[teresa otis]

Sounds like a great system Kitty!

When my son was 15, he was the one responsible for
dusting everything.  He begged for a gathering of
friends and I told him he would have to clean the
whole house and make it spotless because I wouldn't
have time to do my part of the housework.  He readily
agreed.  He was as into rocks just about as much as me
so he knew to keep the labels with the specimens. 
There were a number of them that were not attached
because I didn't want to disrupt the beauty of the
specimen.

Unfortunately, he forgot to tell the friends that
decided to jump in and help him clean the house.  When
I got home from work, the house was as spotless as if
a cleaning crew had come in......but about 20 pieces
were no longer identified.  At the same party, one of
my large pieces from Magnet Cove (Arkansas)...about an
8 pound mass of pyrite out of the creek..fell off the
stereo speaker from the vibration.  Soooooooo, I had
TWO nice pieces from the creek.  I learned then, never
to use the top of my cabinet floor speakers as display
stands! LOL!
