IN my home? Not that many, just the extra special ones. Sapphires and opal I dug myself, a few fossils that are kind of fragile, and some.. um..."spicy" rocks. In double containment.
In my office are tons of neat hand specimens I found over the years. A few in my car I haven't categorized yet. A decent quantity of B-tier rocks that I could still do something with around the yard. Ooh, and 2 different landscape collections I keep at work.
Oh, and then: I have a house in another town that I lived in for 15 years. That place is fully landscaped and half buried with rocks :D It's the "home base."
... how spicy? We talking sieverts?
I'm used to measuring in mRem which is a whole body dose equivalent. But you're on the right track.
