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.
