Dwarves Earth Treasures: Queens Point Thundereggs from Mill Creek Valley, WildCat Mountains, Crook County, Oregon

Queens Point Thundereggs
Mill Creek Valley, Ochoco Mtns, Crook County, Oregon

The Queen Point site is one of several sites around Wildcat mountain that produces thundereggs. The thundereggs are mostly small with quartz cores, but the agates with shadowing effects have been found in some thundereggs. My prized specimen would be one with dentritic taking on an image of "Polar Express" train coming out of winter fog along the snow.

Rough Appearance: Small with raised ridges, sometimes with greenish tint.
Mostly quart core, but can come with banded agates sometimes with shadowy effect.

Look at the dentrites along waterlines of the left pair.
I call it "Polar Express" train. It looks like the train's
emerging out of winter fog along snow.
