The "thunderegg" name was given to the spherical lithophysae nodules by
American Natives with a belief that they were leftovers from the thunderous
war between the mythological Gods. The name "thunderegg" is becoming widely
used to describe the nodules containing the geometrically cavities between
the rhyolitic shells, and they are found almost exclusively in the rhyolitic
lava flows including those that have been completely decomposed into clay
beds.
My entire collection is built mostly on the
luck of cutting rough that I was able to obtain.
Others are obtained from old collectors, trades,
gifts, and rarely agate dealers.

What
is "Thunderegg" and how did they form?
Baker Eggs, JA's Favorite
Agate/thunderegg of any kind:
Note that "Baker Ranch" is an old
name given to the large area that happened to include several thunderegg
sites producing different types of thundereggs. The offically named "Baker
Egg Load" (NOT "Baker Ranch") Mine was opened by Lindburgs and then mined
by Paul "GeodeKid" Calburn.
