Personally.I prefer the black/white centimeter scaled strips used as opposed to
the cubes. Seeing one of the scales in front of a whole specimen or slice, gives me a
better perspective of the true size of the specimen.

Hi Tom and List,
I suppose a blank cube works, as long as it's of a known size.
BTW use goggle to search for centimeter cubes - there are a few sites in
the USA offering 1x1x1cm cubes (with no letters), in wood or in plastic,
with diferent colours, to be mainly used as educational tools for kids
Hi Jose, Tom, and all,
Jose asked:
But why the N1? Could the 1 (or a vertical line) be there to help

And what about the S1 (or a vertical line)?

Again, on a lighter note:
Regarding the 3rd photo of the $450.000 Zagami meteorite in the e-bay site,
I suppose that the flat cube shown goes nicely with the meteorite's shown
value!
Who cares if there is no 1 (vertical mark) visible...perhaps the owner had
in mind a...2D space frame.
If just 100 of us pool our interests, we can each have a 1.88g piece for
a paltry investment of $4,500.00 each! (Assuming of course, no material
loss, and I wonder what that would be!). Paypal would most likely get
$300.00from each of us on the commission alone,... what a bargain!
