[Rockhounds] labeling

[Steve S]

The problem that I have with using something like a Strunz system is the
same as storing specimens alphabetically. It doesn't work when you have
multiple species that are equally important on the one specimen.

Nowadays I put on all specimens a number according to an own system based
on the classification of Strunz (for newer minerals available as 'Strunz
10' on Mindat - for which I am very grateful),
e.g. vantasselite = 7.4.5.12/15 means
specimen # 15 of vantasselite
7 = phosphates
   4 = water-containing phosphates, arsenates and vanadates with extra
anions
      5 = strunzite-beraunite group
         12 = species number in group 5
And every specimen/box has a printed label in the neighborhood (shelf,
drawer, flat...) with all data belonging to the specimen.
