very little rhyolite on those. not much star pattern either. I think maybe just agate nodules or coconut geodes. Maybe 1st one is t-egg center.

They were something I got from Rock-in-Oregon & I don't remember where he said they were from.

#7 the right half would be nice slabbed off and cut into a heart shared cab.

Just to be clear. There are no t-eggs here. The rocks are cool, but just not t-eggs.

I am going to look for the invoice for these, at least for clarification in my own mind. Whatever they be, they were round nodules & biscuit shaped rocks.

Donnie, the seller might even have called them t-eggs. But thundereggs have rhyolite shells, and the agate/jasper centers have some sort of star or X shaped pattern folowing process of t-egg formation.
The agate centers can have waterline, or plume or moss, and/or banding - just like general agate nodules - but all in rhyolite shell, or sometime rhyolitic tuft.
I only make the point becaus many people look to this board for educational purposes, and if it is not a t-egg, everyone in the thread should not be calling them t-eggs. It might mislead people.

Nice material. I like the last nodule the best. Is that from Beacon Hill, ID? Garry

You know what, now that you mention that I do believe that is exactly where those are from. I seem to remember that when I bought them that's where they were listed as being from. Thank you very much!
