This week I finished cutting the Deming show field trip eggs that I mentioned in my previous post. These I believe were even better than the first batch. Since reddish eggs are what is found mostly in the tailings of the Baker Egg mine, I'll share those that aren't primarily red or reddish from this batch.
This one I really like even though there isn't much to it. When I looked at it after it was cut my reaction was Huh? It was the perfect cut to get two halves that aren't the same color. Baffling to me was how did it form like that in the first place?
Nice crystal center.
And to end the photos, a couple stalactite eggs. Sorry for the last one being a bit blurry.
If you're ever in Deming, New Mexico, or even just passing by, stop by the Deming Luna Mimbres Museum in the downtown area, 301 S Silver Ave. Entry is free, and the Geode Kid's collection of thundereggs from around the world is housed there. It's amazing.
Thanks for looking.
