Hello all. I go down to my local flea market every weekend looking for things . I don't know what kind of things until I see them. Picked up this after I asked the guy if I could look at the junk in his trunk. Literally! Pulled this out with a nice purple rock might be fluorite or sugilite? I decided to post the egg half here because it's a keeper! I apologize I do not know much about it.  |

It looks very similar to Agate Creek Queensland thundereggs, the orange /brown areas are exactly what comes from that area, the Rhyolite looks similar too.

An Aussie egg how cool is that out of a random trunk at the flea. I do wish the other half was there. I'm plenty happy with 1 half. Cheers mate . |

Wild! And very cool.
Jason Hinkle of oregonthundereggs.com might be able to help. He lists a selection of international ones as well. At least he used to. Haven’t looked for a while.

This seems to be a really nice specimen I wish my camera can capture it's true beauty . The clear spot of quartz has sparkles like if a crystal got blasted to a billion pieces. |
