Dwarves' Earth Treasures Museum:
Mt. Lyall Thundereggs
Mt. Lyall, Quebec, Canada
.
    What are found at Mt. Lyall, Quebec may be most eastern thundereggs found in North America so far and it is amazing that the thunderegg site managed to escape at least a billion years of erosion. But even so, time have taken a heavy toll on the thundereggs themselves where almost all of them are fractured. The miners have opened a mine on the thunderegg site and went after the large thundereggs, ignoring the smaller thundereggs behind for John W., a friend, to pick up and give to me. :) The agate are typically white possibly due to their colors being leeched away due to so many years of weathering.
