I came across that link while searching for info. Its the biggest photographed I was able to find also.

Hard to tell from pics, but I think mine is bigger with a good amount more mass. It looks to have some bluish looking crystals in it.

More pics:

The CAI looks to be roughly 1 inch across and up to 1/2 inch thick - if it does not go into the stone more then I can see. Been tempted to try to remove one of the crystal looking things inside it, but not sure if I should try.
