Baker Egg Agates
Hermanas, Luna Co., New Mexico, USA
 .
    The Baker Egg Mine on what was once Baker Ranch is one of very few places that produce very colorful agate thundereggs. Despite 30 years of exploration and digging at "Baker Ranch" site, they were recently discovered due to its complex geological structure. Paul "GeodeKid" Calburn, current owner of the mine, was able to figure out where to dig for those colorful thundereggs using his knowledge of geology and opened the mine dubbed as "Baker Egg Mine" (not "Baker Ranch").
    The Baker Eggs are most colorful of any agate thundereggs I have seen so far, and some rival the Laguna Agates (some look very Laguna-like). They come in a wide variety of colors including green (rare) with gray, black, and red colors being most common colors while true blue color being rarest. It's common for the colors to be not restricted to the bands/films, giving them an appearance of spilled coloring dyes. They are strongly fluorescent which the agates glow bright green while rhyolite shells glow red under shortwave ultraviolet (Christmas colors!). Bright red, black and white colors are considered a classic color combo and any solid agates bigger than a fist are quite rare.
