Hi Doug,

No that is not a CAI,I wish it was. At best it may turn out to be a EL 
5-6 worst case an OC. The exterior looked like many of the rocks in the 
area and the magnet attracted to it like an LL OC as it did to 
everything else.
The exterior just looked different than that of a weathered OC  with no 
visible fusion crust. Arlene suggested that I take a better look and 
possible cut the suspected meteorite, I'm glade we decided, ok Arlene 
decided to keep it  : )

Sonny

Wow Sony and Arlene! It's hard to say anything about that since the 
ringed paterns are lso heavily influenced by the progression of the 
weathering... That wouldn't be a CAI by any chance, on the lower left 
rounded edge of cut face, or is it just some uncut desert dust that got 
in there?KIindest wishesDougKindest wishesDoug-----Original
