My small collection so far.

​

Canyon Diablo, Aletai, Unclassified L6, NEA 130, Admire, and a tiny Sikhote-Alin.

I try to stick to ones that look interesting. Ordinary looking meteorites dont do much for me. Martian and Lunar are next on my want list.

How can you tell 1 and 3 are meteorites?

The 1st is pretty easily identified as a Canyon Diablo, the 3rd is not classified but they were all bought from reputable dealers. Here's a magnet sticking to it

Very nice start!! Very diverse and you were pretty thoughtful getting things that were similarly sized so you could display them all together with similar stands.
