I'm curious about the feathery stuff in the closeup of side one. It would be nice to clean them up with oxalic, but those feathery crystals might dissolve . Very nice geode. Don

Debby and Tom,
In your history of cutting the geode/t-eggs from this site, how many of them turn out to be hollow?
Also, are all these from one general area, or do you have more than one deposit on your land?
Thanks,
Lowell

Lowell I find only the big ones are hollow. Most of the smaller ones are solid or have a small hole with druzy. All where found in one general area. Debby & Tom

Western Montana is where these are found, on a section (640 acres) of private ground.

Hope you have a big flat lap. That baby is too nice to be cutting up. Just polish the halves and display it. Don

Debby/Tom
Do you have more of these Thundereggs for sale by chance? I'd love to get a box of good eggs in the 2-5" range. I'm a die hard Thunderegg collector and Thundereggs from Montana are something you just don't hear about. I have a few from the SW Corner of Montana and have seen opal filled ones in huge sizes. Shoot me a PM with some information if you have a chance.... Appreciate it much
Jason
