I have used Filemaker Pro (multiple versions) for many years for both
shell and mineral collections. I like it and would recommend it; but
it's not inexpensive. If you want to use either a database
(recommended) or a spreadsheet to catalog your collection, LibreOffice,
an open source branch from the OpenOffice project, has both for free.
It also includes a word processor and can read and write to Microsoft
Office filetypes, e.g., Excel or Word files.
