Storing Crystals

Briar Rose

There is a huge thread now on ,' how do you store your decks' . So it got me thinking today to separate my rough cut Crystals from the polished ones. And I am glad I did. All stones looked drained, and beat up. Looks like I have to revive them.

So, how do you store your Crystals?

I have some in bowls, and some in abalone shells, cocnut shells, and on a shelf.

I cant post any pics at this stage unfortunately, but I have a flat wooden box with a clear lid, which has several compartments which I store my crystals and stones in by colour and type, (ie rough, tumbled etc), and is great for viewing them without getting dusty etc.
My more beautiful specimens, such as spheres, seer stones and wands are desplayed throughout my home on special stands and lightboxes.

Good thread. :)

Really beautiful Lark. Inspiring.

I love everyone's post. When everyone gets a chance post some pics.

My "walk-around" stones (that I often slip in a pocket) are kept in an oak box with a batik cloth inset in the top that used to belong to my grandmother. My other stones that I've collected over the years I keep in a hardware storage cabinet (like you would keep screws, nails, and bolts in). I came up with this after I kept confusing a lot of my stones that looked alike. Now I have a few in each drawer (lined with felt) with a label identifying what's in each little pull-out box. It is similar to these in this link:

Hmm, mine is wooden with compartments and a clear lid. Im afraid I cant help with where to get one as it was a gift.
I will ask when I see them again, though I have a feeling it was handmade here in NZ.
