Radium Springs Thundereggs
Radium Springs, Dona Ana County, New Mexico |
Mined by Paul Calburn, the
thundereggs tend to come in large sizes but mostly with narrow agate
cores that the cuts have to be made along the agate core to get large
faces. The agates are usually colorless with bluish and reddish tints
and few have banded features. There had been reports of some specimens
with marcasite inclusions.
