I am debating the same thing and have read several methods of saving the

stones. I do think our doctor would be interested to see them. One

report said that they would disintegrate within a week if not frozen.

Does this make sense? Another said to put in a bottle and freeze.

Another said to put in a bottle, put water in the bottle and freeze. I

think the bottle would burst if it has water in it. Also, could the

stones even be seen through frozen water? What does anyone else do?

The bottle won't burst if you don't fill it up all the way before

sealing it- leave some air space at the top to allow for expansion. I

know this from general food-storage stuff, I have no plans to save any

of my stones.
