.	Dwarves' Earth Treasures Museum: Orange Star Thundereggs Orange Star Prospect Site, Hermanas, Luna Co., New Mexico	.

    This is one of few thunderegg sites I discovered (or re-discovered) on my own.  I spotted some white rocks and approached them. Almost immediately, I noticed an "orange star" over there. It turned out that the "orange star" is a weathered thunderegg core showing orange to red Laguna-like banding and the name stuck. I asked Paul "GeodeKid" Calburn about that site and he said that I may have re-discovered one of Peter Ghitney's several lost agate mines that Peter may had to bury possibly to hide it from other people.
    In spite of the site being "raided" by local diggers, I have started digging down to follow a stratrium that seem to be producing colorful agates usually in large thundereggs with dark to light "mushroom" patterns. The agates are typically colorless rimmed with reddish orange primary bands and Laguna-like agates come up from time to time. I'm still exploring that site once in a while (twice a year) since March 2008.
