JA's Little Wash Thundereggs
Hermanas, Luna Co., New Mexico
 .
     I actually was the first person to dig that little wash when I first spotted a bright pink & red agate just laying there in the little wash. I started digging at that spot, and finding slightly colorful agates and plenty of "Waterline" thundereggs. Then I accidentally discovered an Iris Agate in one thunderegg when I re-cut it to bypass a fracture and I have started calling them the "Iris Eggs".   Where I am digging is a float deposit and already have pinpointed the specific stratrum that may be the direct source of the Iris Thundereggs. The problem is that it's on State land where it would be too excessively expensive to file a claim and use a backhoe to do test trenches. :( The site appears to share the same mult-layered strata as those of Baker Eggs and Tavenier Mine.  The thundereggs found there are similar to those of Baker Eggs and Tavenier Mines which Baker Eggs are far more colorful and lacking "Waterline" agates while Tavenier Thundereggs tend to be darker in colors. Any kind of iris agates have not been found in both Baker Eggs and Tavenier Eggs, and that is one of the reasons why I call those "JA's Little Wash Thundereggs" to differ from those two nearby mines. At least 2 out of 50 thundereggs (from GRADED lot) have produced Iris agates, but there are a lot of duds all over, hampering my efforts to locate best grade thundereggs.  I go there only once a year (sometimes twice) and there a limit to how much I can carry, hence, limited supply.
