Dwarves' Earth Treasures Museum:
Baker Egg Thundereggs Collected by JeffreyA. 
during March 2010 Mining expedition
Baker Egg Mine, Hermanas, Luna Co., New Mexico
 .
 The mining expeditions to the Baker Egg Mine still continue as the miners work on a stratrum that seem to be getting deeper and deeper as they kept backhoing at it. Right now they're struggling to remove massive rhyolite body  that seem to interrupt the stratrum but we did find more amethyst geodes than usual while trying to loosen the rhyolite body and few ended up in my collection. :) I missed the Saturday dig where they supposedly hit on a good pocket of colorful Baker Eggs but we went through the "good ore" pile again and I was able to obtain some more colorful Baker Eggs. Afterward, the producation is sporadic where we would get some good thundereggs while getting a lot of junk thundereggs over most of the time. They did not bring up any fresh materials to dump on the piles mainly due to the scarcity of good thundereggs. As of March 2010, Paul Calburn is still alive.

Rough Appearance: Light gray colored with "bubbly" surfaces and usually showing flow bands.
Can be confused with those found at Tavenier, Pastel Eggs and Lindsburg Sites,
but it's safe to assume that any "Baker Ranch" roughs came from Baker Egg Mine.
When cut, agates are typically red, pink and white, mostly hollow.


Rare black and orange color combo The only one I have ever found with strong green, blue, pink and even TRUE PURPLE colors
Quality Bakers! Orange with white rims
Finally I got yellow and red color combo!
Dull, but Mult-colored Laguna-like with shadowing effect
Bright orange to yellow colors High-end Laguna-like patterns
