Good idea Bernd.

People like to make their own labels, for obvious reasons, unfortunately
that's when all the history of the specimen is lost! But if we had a
standard record card, as well though.....

Best,

Mark

What I do (I know it isn't a cure but will certainly help sometimes to
keep track of the material I own):

If I buy something, I record from whom I bought it. When I sell
something, I record to whom I sell and add a letter to the sold piece,
asking the new owner to keep a record about source and buyer (if he
resells it) as well.

I did so from the first piece I bought up to today.

However, I do not pass on labels. I make my own when I resell.

Yeah, I agree with that one, how many of us have paid over large sums
for material, only to get a slice in a plastic bag with no origin info
what so ever!?

What we need, is a standard meteorite record card with the history of
the specimen on it, (and if the rock gets cut, the card gets copied and
the new owner/info gets added to it). Certainly with Lunar and Martian
stuff, it might be a good idea.. at least it could be traced almost
back to the original finder/purchaser.

(and it used to be called a 'LABEL' in my day.. :)



Best
Mark
