How do you organize your collection?

[david touitou]

Hello, I guess that your shells should be ok, of course wood is not the friend of shell collectors... that the reason why I prefer that collectors use hermetic plastic boxes in their wooden cabinet. Whay do you not use containers ? It's the best issue and tools boxes are usually enough. Cowries I collected in 1990's have exactly the same shine (colors may fade on some species of course). I have seen in another collector collections hundreds of cowries that had lost their natural shine ad the guy stored for years his shells in a wooden cabinet with no protection. Sone families are not that fragile, but naturally glossy shells are.


cheers,
