If you don't have access to a camera that takes excellent close ups, try a flat bed scanner. Many people have been pleasantly surprised at how good of pictures a scanner will take. Not a serious collector though I have bought a couple of micro specimens... Came to this list almost two years ago with a wrong I had owned for over 30 years. Never had much hope it was real but the 0.0001% chance that it might be is why I held on to the huge ugly thing so long. Until I learned through research that cutting a window in a 'meteorite' does not destroy its value. At this point I went from 0.0001% maybe this thing is real to "Holy crap, I have the missing third mass of Estherville!" Sadly a test proved otherwise... If you don't want to wait months for someone to test a piece of one of your specimens for free, you can pay a service $30 and know the results in days. The one I used even returned my small sample despite my offer for him to keep it.
