If you are photographing your entire collection you might as well put a scale cube in your pictures. (that way you also have a size scale for identification purposes) I have 7 varieties of 1cm scale cubes. All made of Tungsten Carbide.

For pictures of my scale cubes (objects) being used with Meteorites and other objects visit.

Brushed Black
Shiny Black
Brushed Gold
Shiny Gold
Rounded Shiny Black
Brushed Straight Tungsten Carbide (no plating)silver color
Shiny Tungsten Carbide (no plating) silver color.

These have been used my many professionals across the world and I have been told they are the best Scale Cubes made and at my price point many have bought 2. They are starting to be used by Astronomers and other professional institutions so that they have reference objects to be used on hand for taking field and lab photographs.

if you want me to include your pictures on your collection email the pictures to rexscates at sbcglobal.net (if you can make them 400 pixels wide that would be even better so as to save me processing time)
If you want me to include a link to your website I would be happy to also.

I believe everyone on this list is honorable and do not want to purchase lost, stolen , or illegal to export material. The wonderful thing about meteorites is the provenance. My slices if stolen and cut up can still be identified like a fingerprint. This makes collecting meteorite slices one of the most safe hobbies a person can do. Clear skys! Steve"
