Specimen records
Keep mineral identification, locality details, dimensions, matrix, condition notes, labels, and photographs together.
Specimen collection and notes
Lithotheca
Lithotheca maintains a private working catalog of rock and mineral specimens used for study, comparison, and collection documentation.
Cataloging goals
Maintaining useful specimen records
Reference notes
Preserve observations about crystal habit, associations, luster, fluorescence, and other observable features.
Collection context
Attach provenance, cabinet placement, accession-style numbers, and related references to the specimen record.
Purpose
A working reference collection
Rock and mineral collections are most useful when observations stay attached to specimens. Lithotheca exists to keep those records orderly, searchable, and available for continued study.
This is a private cataloging project.
