Assign minerals, rocks and fossils to a collection object

Geological collection objects often consist of minerals that are based on a rock or may be embedded in a fossil. You have the option to map these relationships here.

A pyrite embedded in fluorite on a baryte matrix can be assigned to the collection object using so-called connectors such as in, on, next to, etc. Chains of these connectors can be assigned. This can also be represented for a pyrite in shale or an ammonite in lithographic limestone.

Once the arrangement of the minerals has been assigned, it looks approximately like this.

Detailed assignments

The assignment still appears somewhat sparse. Special properties of the minerals are missing. There is neither a size specification nor information about habit, quality, color, etc. of the individual minerals. To change this, a button for editing can be clicked behind each mineral and the properties can be completed.

Here we have done this exemplarily using a uranophane.

In the overview, a somewhat more complete picture is now shown behind the mineral name.
