Each spring since 2005, I'm involved with the mining
of Baker Egg Mine and I would get few 5-gal pails of Baker Eggs in exchange
for help with obtaining raw materials for Paul "GeodeKid" Calburn's shop.
We would split the pails of best Bake Eggs into two groups to be determined
by a flip of coin so I won this gorgeous Baker Egg by a coin toss! I usually
find only one or two blue thundereggs from each mining expedition. Red
and black colors are most common colors in the Baker Eggs and hollow types
are even more common.
