1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10  11  12  13  14  15  I’m not usually a thunder egg collector but bought these at a very good price from a friend in Tennessee. I’m really happy with them. They are from a private collection he has access to. I will see him again this weekend at the Franklin, NC show and he will have more of them available. I’m guessing most are from Mexico with some Oregon T- Eggs and some Dugway geodes. Any other ID would be appreciated. Thanks for looking! Jeff A |

Good stuff, Jeff. Those are super fun to cut. Too many nice ones to list, I'm a big fan of them all.

Some really nice specimens. Thanks for the show. Whats your plan for them now? Chuck Hey Chuck, I’m tempted to throw some of them in the Lot-O and polish them that way....some won’t fit. I really liked the Mexican agates you did. But mostly, I’m thinking this is a good excuse to purchase that rotating flat lap I have been wanting. I have a 20” vibrating Lortone lap but it is tedious and requires a lot of babysitting. I haven’t used it in a while. When finished, they will go in the collection or given to friends and family.

These were all taken outside with a handheld iPhone 8. Some were taken too early in the afternoon before the sun set below top of trees. After shaded, photos were much better and colors not washed out. |

What a show!!! Nice variety. I don't have a fav- they are all cool.
edit- No, I think I like 9 the best. That yellow is just BURSTING from the rocks. Wow!
