    This was my solution and it's cheaply/easily made with supplies from Wally World.

    Mine are in a downstairs (basement) bathroom that nobody else uses, save one single jnat barber hone that's in my upstairs bathroom with a tomonagura. The ones downstairs get no dust or grime on them because nobody goes in the BR. All of the hones that live in my woodshop, which includes anything that commonly gets used in woodworking, stays in a machinist bench so that dust and foreign particles stay off the surfaces. If the stones reside on top of the bench because they get used a lot, I keep them in a box for the same reason (and in the case where I'm using an oil hone, so that the water hones stay out of the line of any spritz or foreign drops of fluid).

    Clear plastic totes so I can see them and they can see me. Keeps the dust off them not that they sit around enough to get any on them

    I have a honing station downstairs (just a couple of tables really). All my hones just sit on that. Most are out of their boxes and the Norton 4/8 and Sigmas live in a bucket of water. Stones I don't use much (read:at all) are in a storage container in the storeroom. Stones I don't use at all but like to look at (e.g. my TOS/WOA combo, Coti/BBW combo, couple of midrange Jnats etc) sit out on the table too.

    Not advisable to leave some brands in the sun eg Shapton Pro.

    Not advisable to store some man made's where the damp one may freeze. Been lucky so far. Do not leave a Naniwa in water too long, new ones have a different binder and will crack if soaked long and dried and will have a white exudate if soaked in hot water for some reason. I found out the hard way! then i re-read the NEW directions on the seller's site.
