Facebook's open graph debugger tool can be used to see how your page will look on Facebook. It will give advice about a small og:image:

og:image should be larger: Provided og:image is not big enough. Please use an image that's at least 200x200 and preferably 1500x1500. (Maximum image size is 5MB.) Image ... will be used instead.
