163 gram individual. Unclassified, although Steve says "[a guy told me] it was classified this year as an LL5/LL6 breccia." Unofficially known as Type BL.

Steve writes:
These were sold 10 years ago by Dean Bessey. They were snarfed up by collectors left and right, and none were ever to be found again. It was finally classified after 10 years as an LL5/LL6 breccia. These are known for their black velvety shiny fusion crust.
