From the MetBul
Two stones, weighing 452.6 and 245.4 g, respectively, were found by Bob Verish in his backyard while he was cleaning out a box of rocks that was part of his rock collection. The specimens may have been collected ~ 20 years ago in the Mojave Desert.

Wow! ... says the proud owner of two tiny LA pieces! Its basaltic texture closely resembles that of QUE 94201. There are two nicknames for Los Angeles: LA 001 = MIGUEL and LA 002 = GABRIEL.
