Baker Egg Thundereggs Collected by JeffreyA. 
during March 2009 Mining Expedition.
Baker Egg Mine, Hermanas, Luna Co., New Mexico
 .
    The mining continued at the Baker Mine in March but it seems to us that the egg-bearing stratrum is getting narrower and narrower. We got that impression when we found ourselves backhowing too much big "golfballs" and collapsed zeolite filled thundereggs. Depsite finding a lot of geodes, it wasn't quite a productive venture, and that makes it even harder to get any roughs from Paul Calburn's shop. To make the results more dismal, many agates we cut seem to be excessive with black colors and there must be too much manganese at that spot we were backhowing. My luck is quite funny because I seem to ALWAYS find a high-quality blue Baker Eggs each time I help out with the Baker Egg Mining and that streak haven't been broken since 2006.

The future of the Baker Egg Load Mine is getting even more uncertain...

Rare orangish statictic quartz, exposed by backhoe
obtained directly from the wall,		 Another rare blue Bakers for me!
Fine banded too!
Rare staticitic amethyst geode!  Finally a nice waterline Bakers!
