Scotts mom picked a different one. One that looked like a sunset she said...hehe
It so happened that the kid down the roads favorite color is also blue, so his dad bought that blue thunderegg one for him. He said when he handed it to his 12 year old son to have, he looked at him like this and said..."I can play with this??"... Then dissapeared into his room for over an hour to practice. His dad said that when he finally came out of his room he had tears in his eyes and said he loved it! Dad said it also brought tears to his eyes. Since getting the guitar pick, he has been practicing playing more his dad says. Hearing that was music to my ears! -------------------- Education is the key to the future,

That wont be our only Thunderegg guitar pick.
Here are a few Im working on right now. These are a must see in hand. The shadow bands and colors are amazing! These are not done yet, but you get the picture. So far I have only worked the shape into them...Lots of work to go!

I usually finger play the guitar, but when I do use a pick, I prefer a triangle shape. (1 1/2 x 1 1/2 inch)
Here is a traingle shape I made out of moss agate. Looks like a satalite image, looking down into the eye of a tornado. Dan is working on a wrap that will release the triangle pick so it can be worn or played. Have I told you how awesome you are yet today Dan? I will soon be adding some triangle guitar picks to the Stone Guitar Picks section of the Miners Market, so keep a look out for them.

Dan wrapped my traingle guitar pick so I can wear it and play with it now.
I'll add a picture of it later. Thanks Dan, you did a great job on it! Here is one that came from the Moss Thunderegg slabs above. Kind of looks like a classy tuxedo to me...hehe

Thanks Russ, we do enjoy working with the different stones since they are all so individually unique. Ma' natures tiny treasures within!
Denise does a really nice job on all the hand work to shape/polish them out too! Good work honey. -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

Here is another one that went with the two in pic/post #2 this page........when I first cut this last summer and saw the pattern I instantly thought of SL9 striking Jupiter.... What can I say, my imagination wandered!
Denise says it's Thunderegg yolks in there.... What do you see? Unfortunately this one fell into my personal collection as I'm rather fond of it......but one of the first two in the pic above will be listed in the Miners Market soon. Along with many more new and very colorful guitar picks....several in shades of thundereggs. CP -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

Here is another one, probably from the Priday ranch in Oregon too.
Very pretty moss, purple hues with a green slash and a few clear pockets. Nice shine on this one as you can see too. Wow honey excellent job! Ok, Ok...... I won't keep this one for the collection. Boy it's a nice un' tho'! -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

We decided that purple plume one in the last post should be added to the CP treasure chest.
Also, we just updated the Miners Market with over a dozen new stone guitar picks......more coming soon of course too. We've both been busy working so hard on lapidary projects and web work lately that the pic taking / listing has slacked a bit. Got to get that cloning machine up and running soon!! All picks in stock (currently over 50) have been very carefully checked for fractures. If we find any with fractures during production they are immediately culled out. Stop in to browse all the new picks soon. Here's a few to wet the whistle on the way over to that page. This one is a really cool shadow banded Baker thunderegg pick. It's even got a spiffy druzy pocket......oooo sparkles. Here is an actual "South Park" petrified wood. Very nice color in this wood and from Colorado! And this one is a pretty neat fire agate with awesome banding and even has a bit of "fire" flashing in the upper right corner. Ok, just one more but this one hasn't yet been listed. Just had to share this one though........Man these T-eggs sure can be neat!! Good job Denise!! whew! And just wait till' ya' see the next batch.......oooooo boy! Cya's soon CP -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

Boy, the T-eggs sure can produce some nifty colors and patterns!
Here's another recently completed from a Baker pit Thunderegg. Nice n' thin too at only 1.75 mm and is very smooth in hand! Good job once again Denise! -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

This is one cut from fire agate and not showing the "fire" much, but you can definately see how fire agate formation occurs in the banding blended with bubbles or boytroidal.....WOWSER! Clear, white, and the copper inclusion reds. It does show hints of "fire" near the edges in hand and the mix of clear with red areas has rainbow colored twinkles due to the crystal type form that tried to blend......maybe the blender wasn't on high enough though.
