Hi Melanie,

Welcome to the list. As some others have said Jilin is the one. I always wanted to have a piece of it and recently managed to acquire a 1650g fragment, funnily enough only a couple of days after returning from a trip to China. You will find some great photos on the web of the huge hole it produced when it fell.

Sorry for the long link paste.

If you want to see some pictures of my fragment off list let me know.
