dontom Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 Thanks for the kinds words. This is just a temporary set up. Everything will have labels and I will have 4 or 5 cabinets in the man cave when I move so I can display the rest and it wont be as overcrowded. 1 hour ago, Mediospirifer said: You have some very nice and impressive pieces!!

It's botryoidal Agate more commonly called grape Agate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that labels in display cabinets in the homes of private collectors just get in the way sometimes and think that yours just fine the way it is. The important thing is that everything is numbered and catalogued, right? Curious viewers might like to know stuff about them without having to ask, rather than just go "ooh, aah"!

I've had some of my most lively conversations whilst giving the tour. The first thing that naturally comes after "ooh, aah" is "What's that?" or "Where did you find it?" or "How old is that?" Nobody I've shown around seems to mind asking. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBrewer Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Stunning collection. Your cabinet is so full you couldn’t get a matchstick in it. Looks beautiful the way you have it displayed. John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were me taking the tour, I might want to know about all of them, and glancing at labels might be a bit of a timesaver. Of course if there were any stories to be told, I'd want to hear them too.

Well, if you ever come to visit me, you'll just have to prepare yourself for asking a lot of questions, but we've got all the time in the world, don't we? Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Wrangellian Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 If I had my way, that's what it would be, but then, I rarely get such luxuries - seems it's always a big rush to the next thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
