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!

Large Encased CAI

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

Best regards,
Greg
