sake...Jeez!
Finding that honker was about as funny as having a heart attack. Like Tom went

The first time I heard of a 1 inch cube was on this list, somebody linked to
some old NASA images where an inch scale cube was used. So it is not entirely
without precedence.
Personally I'd only use a cm cube, but that's my choice, I see no problem with
people selling them. For the

If I'm not mistaken, the scale cube was invented specifically for the lunar
samples brought back by the Apollo missions.
Obviously, the idea behind using a scale cube is just that, to show the scale
of the object in the photograph.
I agree that for good scientific reasons, a

I may be mistaken, but has there be a standard set?
AFAIK, these are scale cubes, not standard cubes.
Now the example you cite is ambiguous. I have no way of knowing if it is a 1-cm
cube or some other dimension because there is no scale on the scale cube. That
is my gripe. For a

Yep... Richard and I both agreed that we want a specimen where a 1m cube is
needed! ;-)
It's a personal thing really. 1cm has become the standard but 1inch has been
used in the past. As long as it is clear I guess it does not matter too
much. I personally prefer the 1cm cubes but Australia

You just prove my point I was making with by changing the orientation cube size
scale from cm to inches or to feet if you will from your statement

Here is an article from the 41 Lunar and Planetary Science Conference about the
Smithsonian and the challenges they face on the large numbers of meteorites
they have to classify from Antarctic.

Hey all,
I typically use a 6 scale ruler with inches/centimeters in my photos. But
that's clunky sometimes, e.g. when you need to prop it up when getting side

with from now off I think.

Richard and all,
I believe that one of the original uses was archaeology.
When an archaeologist would find an artifact he wanted to take pictures
from all sides before digging out. So let's say it was a pot in a grave, he
would shot the north/south/east/west sides of the pot, turning the cube
This has been a good discussion.
The 1cm scale cubes I use do not have any markings on them to clearly show it
to be 1cm.
I usually provide the information in listings and such, but after reading the
posts, I think I am going to mark mine as 1cm to clearly show it in the picture.

Tonight I took this photograph of my Ensisheim that I got a couple weeks ago. I
noticed when I first got the meteorite this intense metallic gold vein going at
a diagonal angle and within the vein there is this electric metallic blue
inclusion while viewing it through my 60x loupe.
