RickB Don't know that I see a Picasso face, but I do see a monkey face to the left side, facing right and looking upwards. The dark spots are the eyes. It's like it is underwater, only the eyes breach the surface.

Got it, lol!
In my version, the right eye of your Picasso face is the entire underwater monkey's face.

When did the expanding take place? Evidence is that it happened as the lava was expelled from the magma chamber and external pressure was released. As the lava flowed, some lithophysae were stretched. These images from the Geode Kid:   I found this interesting group at Dugway Utah. Note the flow lines on the spheres!

You have no idea how difficult this little task was for me, what with me having CRS and all. I had seen this triple T-egg while looking through my rock stash for something else. It was in a place it should not have been, but I was excited to see it. Even remembered where I had gotten it from.
So I mentioned it in the post just above on 1/7/21, which was a Thunderegg Thursday. I went out with my camera a couple days later, with the intention of taking a few pics of it, and I couldn't find the darn thing! Should not have been that difficult to find it, I mean, it's not like it could have sprouted legs and walked away... It had been in a smaller cardboard box, wrapped in brown paper, somewhere in the mess that is under my patio table.
Looked for it some more the next day, no luck. Finally I saw something on top of the table. Something wrapped in a beige colored plastic bag. Eureka, I had found it!
But wait, the story is not done yet. It was too late in the day for natural light to take the pics, so move another day forward to today. Took my camera out, and again, could not figure out what I had done with it. Just a little searching today, and it found it, on the table still. But not in a box, and no longer wrapped up in a beige plastic bag. Without further ado, I got some pics of it, and present them here, for your enjoyment.
A nice triple t-egg. 
Area to the left side.
Love the mossy/filament stuff to the right side in this center egg. 
And lastly, the lumpy outside of it. Should have taken one more shot of it from the side. Oh, well. 
I was going to wait until Thursday to post the photos, but figure you all have waited long enough. Not only that, but I wanted to get them posted to the forum before I misplaced the images, lol.
I keep telling my husband that I am losing it... 
(I think he is starting to believe me.)
Ahhh...another person afflicted with CRS syndrome. Don't think you're the only one afflicted with this issue. What were we talking about? Oh, that right...squirrels!  That left side of the egg(s) is mesmerizing! I keep going back to the picture to look at it! Thanks for going through all the headache to post these pics!  As they say: one of the joys of getting older is gaining the ability to hide your own Easter Eggs... and apparently thundereggs!  |

Stephan, would you like some pictures for cabs or polished core areas from Priday eggs collected in the late 70's?

quartzilla - thanks for finding that! That just made my morning! Brian - thanks for posting the video link...it saved me searching...because I would have! That's one that would get "face" polished and put in the display case forever!!! What a nostalgic childhood "symbol" found in a rock!
