Hello Arnaud, All,
I agree with you - to an extent.
While we have inked many of our specimens, we have never sold a single
meteorite (and the few we've traded were never marked).

Hi everyone,
Thought I'd throw in my two cents on this interesting topic. First, painting
numbers on a meteorite for identification purposes is only good if you have a
master sheet that translates that number into a specific meteorite. If that
sheet is lost the painted number is useless.
I
Hi Jim and List,
I used a Dremel tool to carefully carve and identification number into
all of my specimens. I put the name of the specimen, date, origin,
type, what I paid for it, catalogue number, and 5 things I like about
it using only adjectives. All of this information is carved in
letters

Hello Everyone,
I don't like the idea of marking in any way a meteorite specimen.
Over the years, I have bought planetary specimens from Jim Strope and I
think Jim has a great way of producing an adequate paper record of a
specimen. Jim scans the specimen and prints a COA with the scanned

Hi Gary, Martin, and List,
Just a thought about storage and labelling -
I keep the majority of my collection inside a wood mineral cabinet
that has many shallow drawers, and each drawer has a series of
moveable compartments which I have lined with batting similar to what
you see in Riker boxes.

Hi GeoZay and List,
Here is a semi-recent photo showing the cabinet and some of the jars
and rikers. Some of these specimens have been sold/traded and some
have been moved into the cabinet shown. It is not the biggest
cabinet, but with careful use of space, I have managed to cram a lot
into it.
Thanks! Nice display and probably a good conversation room.
