Abstract
The appearance of bright Ca II K2V grains in the interiors of network cells on the solar surface is an intriguing phenomenon, rich in observational characteristics and possibly important in the energy budget of the quiet chromosphere. Unfortunately, their nature has eluded identification sofar. We discuss various scenarios and list observables which may verify or discard these, and we present predictions based on our own prejudices.
