Re: [meteorite-list] CAI in Tagish Lake?

[greg stanley]

All:
   
  These photo's are really interesting and it got me thinking.
  What do the CAI’s look like up close?  Say perhaps a C-Chondrite was broken 
and the white CAI was exposed, would it look like glass?  Or would it be milky 
white?  Or can they vary?
  I have a small CV and I find the CAI’s very interesting (but they are very 
small) and I’ve also been reading about their formation a little.  They appear 
to be among the oldest rock or mineral formation known.
   
  If anyone can expand a bit on CAI’s.  That would be very interesting.
   
  Charles – thanks for the photos.
