I picked out some pics of geodes, then realized you wanted Thundereggs, DOH!! So here's a few thundereggs.
Here's a favorite t-egg slice, I call it "Day at the Beach" 
Not self collected, came from an estate sale. These are just some I already had pics of.
Don't recall where this one came from, a sale I'm sure.
This probably would not be considered a T-egg, just a banded agate. But a pretty agate. Swapmeet, $3.
Also from swapmeet. Different time, similar price.
Let me know when you are ready for Geodes, I've got some queued up.

oldschoolrocker1. Late on one and early on another averages out to perfect 2. T-egg Tuesday works. It's alliterative. The title is for fun. By no means a rule. It's mainly to give myself a mental trigger to post something and keep it going. 3. Thank you for the awesome posts. I've been wanting Cold Mountain eggs. Now I REALLY want them. ----------------------------------- And the final result is... well, let's see here... that's interesting... But, yes, it's correct: Thank You for sharing.

1/2 Geode, 1/2 T-egg. Is there a name for something like this? Just "hollow thundereggs." When I spoke with the late Robert Paul Colburn (aka The Geode Kid, and co-owner of the Baker mine -- somewhat of an expert on the subject ), I was informed that what makes it a thunderegg is the rhyolite matrix, not whether or not it's hollow. |

Thanks for clarifying, stephan. If rhyolite matrix makes it a thunderegg, then some of my geodes are thundereggs! Most geodes from the Wiley's Well/Hauser Geode Beds have rhyolite coatings. Will have a few more ready to go on Thursday. |
