That is certainly a great idea Bernhard. I have also now been trying to keep
histories of pieces, no matter what the specimen is. When I resell a
collection piece, as well as adding my own label I also include any others
that may have come with the specimen when I bought it. When you think about
it, what purpose is served to throw them out? Check out my May 2003 Monthly
Favourite (http://www.meteoritesaustralia.com/favourite/may2003.html).
Through good record keeping this very small ordinary chondrite endcut has an
amazing history. It adds immensely to the interest of the piece!
Cheers,

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
