Dwarves' Earth Treasures Museum:
Cinnamon Beds Thundereggs
Wiley Well District, south of Bythne, California
    The Cinnamon Beds is one of several long known sites that had been explored for many decades and the name was inspired by the hollow thundereggs lined with reddish to brown hued druzy quartz.  The site was heavily dug up, but it's still possible to find something there. The greenish white thundereggs are mostly hollow and muiltchambered, usually lined with chalcedony and druzy quartz. I explored it only to see if it produces any banded agate and found few ones in smaller thundereggs. The agetes are clear to gray and I found one with yellow agate (a surprise find). There was a story of a rockhounder discovering a large pocket of druzy quartz lined hollow thundereggs and how his partner was armed with a gun to guard their pocket until it had been dug out. The large pit dug by the armed rockhounders is still there.
