At the time of collecting minerals and rocks, we need to know that we are dealing with materials that were created over millions of years and by human carelessness of 1 second can damage or tear apart a fall or punch, so that their operation is one of the most important responsibilities of the mineralogist.
addition, in boxes minerals rub together, causing destruction of crystals and for example, your beautiful quartz is transformed into dust after a couple of months so this is not the best way to save, as well as in open a window or on TV since dust can bury forever the spectacular brightness of a pyrite or quartz.
While it is best to expose them in a thin case, there is a simple, free and elegant for the mineralogist newbie, these are: egg cartons. Yes, as it turns out that thanks to its design get a sturdy support for our most precious samples.
Take an egg carton (it costs nothing to ask them on poultry or stores) and put the minerals, pure and simple. Now, to give them more security you can place the egg carton with minerals and put inside another box (shoe for example) making it fit within it, just cut the "egg cup" to serve as a floor for container box .
