Mt. hay Gemstone Tourist Park
The park is where people are allowed to dig and
collect the thundereggs. The thundereggs found there have typically tan
to light brown rhyolite shells with wide variety of cavity shapes.
When the thundereggs were first found/dug, the agates were colorful
(red, yellow, orange, pink, lavendar and light blue, but now the
recently found/dug thundereggs are coming with duller colors and white
to gray colors, occasionally with shadowing effects. Apparently, the
thundereggs with colorful agate cores may be obtained thru old
collection or lapidary stocks.
