Anyone visiting the Baker Egg Mine may noticed another bulldozed pit to the west of the Baker Egg Mine over the basalt ridge. The pit were opened by Pete Ghitney(??) when he discovered some large thundereggs that looked similar to the Baker Egg Thundereggs. It was said that despite his mining efforts, a small pocket of thundereggs was dug up and only five best polished thundereggs were added to his collection, but he was apparently looking for high-end specimens through... I poked at the pit and found two different types of thundereggs, one with weathered shells and other ones that look similar to Baker Eggs.
   The unweathered thundereggs looked so similar to the Baker Eggs that it's hard to distinguish the West Baker Eggs from the Bakers Eggs. The agates are generally colorless with "watered down" and darker color hues. Light-blue horizontal bands with red agate rims are common there.

Rough Appearance: Some thundereggs are hard to be distinguished from the Baker Eggs, but more weathered look and more obvious flow bands.
Pastel colors and colorless shadowy agates distinguish them from Baker Eggs.
