Following something another member said: are these collections, or 
accumulations?  I would rather see someone's collection of 100 nice 
specimens, well labeled, catalogued and well presented, than buckets 
containing tons of uncataloged, undisplayed, unlabeled rocks.  (Of 
course, lapidary rough is a different story...)
