Ordinary chondrite (H5)
A shower of small stones (>1000 individuals) fell near the Yellow River after a brilliant fireball with smoke and sparks terminated in a loud, resonating explosion.  The fall ellipse measured ~10.5
´
4.3 km, oriented east-west.  The largest recovered piece weighed 2.7 kg, and the total mass is >100 kg.  One fragment was reported to have penetrated a roof and landed in a pot on a stove.  This meteorite has been widely traded and sold under the unofficial name Heze.
This gorgeous meteorite with matrix, iron flacks, and dark/light colored chondrules would make a fine addition to any collection.
This material is very solid, takes an excellent polish and displays nicely.
I
spend a great deal of time preparing these meteorites for your collection.

As of May 6th 2021, due to the increased postage costs. Postage is now .80 in the USA for all the items you wish to buy in a two week period, and that are paid in a single
transaction.  All packages still come with full tracking.  I've held off on raising my postage prices for as long as I could.  The Post Office keeps increasing their rates and Ebay takes about 15% in fees from the
postage
costs. Sorry for any inconveniences.  Again, for combined shipping please take up to 2 weeks before you pay in one single transaction. So if you buy one item or 239 items, postage is .80 total in the USA when you pay in one payment. And Please only pay when you are all done. Thanks, John Humphries
