1456 grams.   Eucrite-mmict

TKW 8.3 kg. Fall not observed. Found 30 July 1978, 100 m SE. of Bouvante Lake, commune of Bouvante-le-Haut, Drome, France.

From the MetBul:
Found by M. Luc Ezingeard, a police officer of Saint-Jean-en­Royans (Drome, France), while picnicking with his family near the lake at Bouvante. The stone, coated with a black glaze, was recovered from a hole 25 cm across and 50-60 cm deep. Attempts to find other similar stones in the area were unsuccessful.
