Thanks Scott.
This is a close up of my favorite one that we polished. It has beautiful blue bandings!! Hard to tell in the picture but the upper right part of the white looking patch is actually pink. The patch area looks like a heart, and the top of it has red and orange.........and a couple of flowers to the left of it....hehe Sure turned out pretty, and Dans cut was perfect! Did you know ThunderEggs are Oregons state rock.

Ok Mrs protector of all thundereggs that are good......here are a couple egg "yolks" that were on the verge of being scrambled.
 Hopefully they are just "over easy" now.

It has been a blast working with Carol's Thundereggs!
Here is a close up of the darker one. This picture really doesnt do this egg justice. When you move it around...It has this goldish brown looking sheen to it in spots. Very cool Thunderegg!

WOW! They sure are pretty. Great finds Carol, good job!
I thought this might be a good way to keep them safe till she comes to pick them up....hehe ....... Kind of appropriate eh?

Too funny Dan..........Jim is probably looking like this right now.
 <-----------JimDont worry, I wont let anything happen to your baby Geodes and ThunderEggs. Sounds like Carol is so happy about finally seeing what was inside her ThunderEggs, she is sending the rest for us to cut and polish. This time Im going to video tape them being cut and opened by Dan for the first time.... This should be fun!
