Just wanted to share a few specimens I recently polished up. These have been hanging around for a while while I moved house and dithered, but I finally got to them yesterday. Lots of interesting new locations for my gallery, which was singularly bad in Californian rocks! ![](http://www.thundereggs.co.uk/usa/california/raineyswell/raineyswell01a.jpg) Rainey's Well ![](http://www.thundereggs.co.uk/usa/california/cinnamon/cinnamon01.jpg) Cinnamon Beds ![](http://www.thundereggs.co.uk/usa/california/middlehauser/middlehauser03.jpg) Middle Hauser ![](http://www.thundereggs.co.uk/usa/california/southernhauser_east/hausereast01.jpg) East of the Southern Hauser beds - interesting tilt! ![](http://www.thundereggs.co.uk/usa/california/southernhauser/southernhauser05b.jpg) Southern Hauser - Healed Crack ![](http://www.thundereggs.co.uk/usa/california/leadpipesprings_alt/leadpipesprings_alt01.jpg) Specimen from an alternate Lead Pipe Springs location - presumably a different bed to the more familiar specimens. No sooner had I published this one though than it started to cause controversy - with some people insisting that it was a Vegas Wash thunderegg from Nevada! Since the guy i got it from dug it himself, I am rather wary of that though!

Hey David!
I'm glad you've settled in your new place and have had time to work some of the material you've been gathering (I can only image the network of sources you've managed to accumulate to aid your collection).
I like how a lot of those guys have turned out. I have a friend who just got back from digging the cinnamon beds and came away with 150 pounds of geodes with crystal cores tinted with reds and pinks. The variety from these sets of hills makes the whole area fun to explore.
Regarding that last one - Mel (sabre52) is the digger of that particular stone from Lead Pipe Springs - just to make sure your information is 'pure'. I would give quite a bundle to have a chance at those beds myself - unexploded ordinances or no...
Can't wait to see other hidden treasures you have at your home.
Lowell
