Sky
Blue Thundereggs South Canyon, Little Florida Mountains, New Mexico |
![]() |
The Sky Blue Mine was discovered
and opened by Paul "GeodeKid"' Calburn's partner
Bill Anderson, and many large thundereggs have
been mined from a narrow and vertical strata. It's
typical for the Sky Blue thundereggs to come in
forms of biconiod(two points/saucer-like) and
triconoids (three points) containing white to
bluish gray agate. That makes them an
excellent demonstration of how a cavity within the
molten thunderegg may had been forced open by
gases coming out of the cooling lava to be later
filled in agate-forming solutions. The Sky Blue Mine was one of few thunderegg locations that produced large thundereggs with strong shadowing effects and other interesting things have also found been there too. The examples are those containing black calcite crystals, and black sagenite-like psilomaline blades. The site is considered to be mostly dug out. Site Status: As of Jan 2022, it's under "Thunder" Claim, please don't dig there without permission. |
