I bought a handful of Thundereggs at a show a couple weeks ago. I wish I would have bought more. I think the most fun I have when cutting rocks comes from single cut nodules. Sometimes cutting slab after slab of a large single rock can be a bit boring compared to these where every cut is a new rock and new surprise inside. I assume these are from Richardsons in Oregon but I have no idea of what beds they may be from. 1)  2)  3)  4)  5)  6)  7)  8)  This one was my favorite    Thanks for looking Chuck |

Nice stuff. Your camera does well. I'll take the compliment but these were really lazy photos. Rocks just sitting on my workbench and quick pics using the Iphone XS max. Chuck |

It did you well, nonetheless. I've not photo'd a bunch of stuff because I have been too lazy. I might revert to the cell for photos, since the phone does well.
We'll see what happens.

Those are nice. Love the yolks in some of them. #3 is my favorite.

Have you seen the bright yellow before? Any idea what mineral that might be? My first reaction is that you accidently dropped an egg yolk. There are some minerals that color at Richardson's (clinoptilolite, wulfenite, etc.) but it looks so smooth that it might require high-power magnification to identify any crystals. It could also be opal as fossilman suggested, or just an intrusion of bright yellow-orange agate (similar to the yellow found over the hill and down the road at the Polka-dot agate deposit (not sure what elements contribute to that color there). To me, it looks like you have a mix of t-eggs - mostly Priday eggs, but some perhaps not (in particular that one and the 7th photo from the top). All very nice - can imagine how fun that was to be rewarded when opening those! |
