  For organizing small stones and faceted gems, many lapidaries have moved away from expensive specialized containers in favor of bulk portion cups. These 1.5 oz black polypropylene cups are perfect for the task because the dark background makes it much easier to inspect the color and clarity of your material: https://www.mcdonaldpaper.com/safepro-fk1-5b-1-5-oz-black-polypropylene-portion-souffle-cups-2500-cs-lids-sold-separately. They are sturdy, take up very little space when stacked, and come in a case of 2500, which is great for cataloging a large collection without breaking the bank. It is a simple way to keep your workspace tidy and ensure no stones get mixed up during the cutting or polishing stages.
