That is sort of the problem
The cleaning lady moves them around while doing the dusting and I started noticing chips off the edges of the matrix 0*\
Have told her numerous times to leave that area and I will sort it out, but she seems to have short term memory loss. Every time she's been I can see the rocks have been moved around. In the mean time my rarer stuff is in a containers in the garage.

I want to get a nice display cabinet, but the SO has vetoed that ! --00--
