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.
In a slow process of being completely updated. (re-scanning and posting new pics)
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.
