Well I have a very small collection (around 20 tumbled stones with a bunch of quartz shards) so I usually just keep them all on my counter..this way I can choose what stone I want to carry around for the day.

I think it depends on the size of the stones themselves and the value. You can always buy an organized toolbox and keep them there, if they are valuable. I've heard of some people even building their own, by adding grids to drawers and shelves.

It's best to leave the exposed to daylight. I got most of my crystal on cupboards etc throughout my house. I do have a crystal/meditation room. Most of the crystals I don't work with right now, are there. Very nice energy and feel to the room.
My tumbles are in a wooden thingy with sections (no lid). Best is not to store them in plastic containers, as that can interfere with their energy. You could also get a glass display to put them in. That way they do get daylight, but won't get really dusty.
Don't worry so much about them not lasting or not keeping. They don't come with a sell-by date! And it's not like they're batteries that will die over time! They will outlast you, lol

My tumblestones I keep in purple bags with black linings, and all my clusters are scattered all over the house.

I keep mine in a small wooden box on my altar but I also put them in glass dishes when I want to put them in sun and moon light with the exception of citrine which will fade in sun light. Surprisingly crystals are pretty tough if you drop them they usually just get a scratch or a small dent. I am very clumsy and I have nicked a couple by dropping them. I did notice if you literally drop/plop a few into a cloth pouch they will crack or nic each other so if you go that route place them gently in the pouch and try to be very careful the biggest problem I've had with damage was using this method so I never put more than 3 in a pouch and keep all quartz crystal points seperate the little ones are delicate. But for overall storage you can basically sit them anywhere and they will be safe (:
