Just wondering... maybe I don't understand.

But, what's the point of a 1 Inch or 2 Centimeter "scale" cube when the
standard is 1 Centimeter? Wouldn't this confuse things?

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.

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"
