Been digging down into some of my old material and here's a few; Baker Ranch Thunderegg, this is a newer one I got from the Shop in Deming run by the Geode Kid's partner Chris. A tip, if you ever get to go through rocks at an old shop, be sure and have a digging tool so you can get down to the lower(buried) rocks in a pile. IMG_9515 by Findrocks, on Flickr Two more halves from the old pile next to Chris's shop in Deming last year; IMG_9514 by Findrocks, on Flickr I collected this one from the now closed Baker Ranch; IMG_9513 by Findrocks, on Flickr From Baker Ranch; IMG_9512 by Findrocks, on Flickr From Baker Ranch; IMG_9511 by Findrocks, on Flickr A classic Luna Blue, New Mexico. I collected there about 35 years ago. This is the best one I have cut to date. It's going into the Cabinet. IMG_9510 by Findrocks, on Flickr Sure wish Baker Ranch would be opened up again for collecting. I believe the owners of the claim are digging about twice a year. There was a table of them for sale at the Show in Deming this past March, they were some outrageous prices on them.

Nice pieces, especially those from Baker Ranch. Too bad it's shut down.

Nice old stock.... I have one Baker Ranch egg I just cut... Don't know where or how I got it either... Hahaha I love those Baker Ranch Thundereggs. At the risk of repeating myself for at least the 3rd or 4th time. If you are ever in the Deming area, be sure and check out the Geode Kid's Collection of Thundereggs at the Deming museum. The collection includes Thundereggs from many locations including of course, Baker Ranch. If there is a better collection of it's type anywhere I would be surprised. Did not get to go to Deming this June, hopefully this coming Winter for the Show or in June 2020. Henry
