[meteorite-list] Most Unique CAI

[Thetoprok at aol.com]

Greg, List,

This is a perfect  example of the difference between people like me who sell 
the occasional  meteorite to support my collecting habit, and a true dealer. 
How you ever  parted with that CAI capped jewel is beyond me, I doubt I would 
have ever been  able to sell it! That is truly one of the most unique features 
I've ever  seen.

Dear HUGE CAI  Enthusiasts,

I was reminded by Jeff Kuyken that I had offered a couple of  NWA 3118 CV3 
specimens a couple years ago with massive CAI's popping out of  them. While I 
do not remember at the moment who the lucky collectors were  who acquired 
these, I do have the photos of these remarkable specimens. Here  are links to 
the photos with several views each:

The Donut (with  sprinkles!). The most unique CAI in the  World!

If the people who  has these would like to chime in with the measurements, 
that would be  cool!

Best regards,
Greg
