Hi Greg....That first one sure looks like it could have been a spherical
CAI having chondritic material in it. It would be interesting to slice
the other one open and study its structure!

Hello all CAI lovers,
Here are a couple of links to some monster sized CAI's from two
different NWA 3118 specimens I brought back from a Morocco trip last
summer. I have since sold them and they reside in a great home:

Subject: [meteorite-list] Nice CAI in a CV3
Hi All,
At the Tucson show, I picked up a nice NWA end section with a
wonderful CAI. I know, I know, its not an historic L6, but it is
pretty cool anyway.
When I do talks about the solar system, I like to pass around a CAI
for the obvious reasons. Now I can hold one up in front of a class
and everyone can see it.
Here are some pics of the piece:

Notice the smaller CAI island that drifted off the mainland, looking
somewhat like Madagascar off the east coast of Africa.
Any thoughts on the CAI would be appreciated.
Happy viewing.
