Juancheng (inna nazwa: Heze) – meteoryt kamienny należący do chondrytów oliwinowo-bronzytowych H 5, spadły w postaci deszczu meteorytowego 15 lutego 1997 roku w prowincji Szantung w Chinach. Upadek meteorytu Juancheng obserwowany był o godzinie 15.23 (UT). Najpierw zaobserwowano przelot dymiącego i sypiącego iskrami bolidu ze wschodu na zachód, który w pewnym momencie głośno eksplodował, obsypując ponad tysiącami drobnych kamieni obszar nad Żółtą Rzeką. Z obszaru upadku zebrano ponad 100 kg materii meteorytowej a największy znaleziony fragment ważył 2,7 kg. Jeden z kamieni przebił dach domu i wpadł do garnka stojącego na piecu.

- A LARGE meteorite from a witnessed fall! From the accompanying literature: "Nantan iron meteorites represent one of the rare witnessed iron meteorite falls in the world. The fall was vividly recorded (in Chinese records): “During summertime in May of Jiajing 11th year, stars fell from the northwest direction, five to six fold long, waving like snakes and dragons. They were bright as lightning and disappeared in seconds. These records show the meteorite to have fallen in the year 1516 AD. The fall site was not discovered until much later, in 1958. The specimens have a coarse octahedral structure, and contain 92.35% iron and 6.96% nickel, belonging to IIICD classification of Wasson et al (1980’s).” This is a VERY LARGE one, weighing 223 grams!

Juancheng fell on February 15, 1997 in Shandong Province, China. It is an H5 chondrite. The fall was preceded by a brilliant fireball and loud, resonating explosions. Juancheng is a hammer as one stone reportedly struck and penetrated a roof and landed in a pot on the stove! This was a large fall producing more than 1000 stones and ~100 kgs TKW. This beautiful individual weighs 13.22 grams and is 100% fusion crusted. Based on the quality and color of the crust it appears to have been rescued from the elements shortly after falling.
