43 grams.   CI1

TKW 6 kg. Observed fall 15 March 1806, Languedoc-Roussillon, France.

As of this date, there are only 9 meteorites with this classification.

From the David Darling web site:
[Alais] became the first object from space in which organic chemicals were unequivocally identified.

 2/21/2023 2:02:24 PM		 John, I have asked the same question before, without an answer. Another example: Tafassasset, now classified as Achondrite! I had thin-sections made of that one, and the chondrules are there, not bright and clear, probably rated 6, but they are there! also no response.
