Try this, Get a piece of clear window glass, about 1' square, and four coke cans. Set the glass on the cans using them as legs, now place a nice background mat in the space beneath. Your meteorite can then be set on the glass and your camera focused on it. Being that it is "suspended" by the glass several inches above the mat, there will be very little shadow in the picture, also lighting can be better controlled with white paper or foil set at angles out of the field of the camera but close enough to the specimen to bring out the details that you what to show.
