QUOTE (ColoradoProspector @ Apr 7 2008, 05:55 PM) 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.   You did fantastic Dan! Dont forget this piece that was also from the same egg half. Even egg shaped a bit...hehe

Here is the other side. I love the little triangle filled with shades of blue bands! It also has a red band around it on the left side.

Here are a few doubles we got for polishing Jim's Geodes and ThunderEggs.
 These will be fun!

More pics of those neat Oregon doubles above coming soon. Even the broken one is going to put out some killer stones and or guitar picks.
 Another popular and world known egg bed is the Baker Pit near Deming, NM............this week we received a few from NM Jack as a donation in support of the CP site and club. Thank you Jack! He will be getting some of the nicest ones back once cutting and polishing is completed here in the CP lapidary workshop.  So, for those of you who like the T-eggs.........keep your eyes on this thread and the Miners Market for them to be appearing soon. For now though, we have put together a short video of one of the best from the first 3 cut. It's always fun to see what's inside for that first light so to speak when it's first cut open. Shouldn't take long to download being only a bit over 2.75 minutes long. View/download here 
ThundereggCutting1.wmv ( 7.91MB )
Number of downloads: 373And a quick pic before it's off to the CP flat lap area. Looks like stalactites if I'm reading the deposit layer right in this one.  Should polish out really spiffy!! More cutting to be continued............soon!  CP -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

I love Thunder eggs! Those first eggs may be from Richardson Ranch a.k.a. Priday.
Here is a link to a gallery of my Oregon/Idaho Thunder Eggs. Oregon / Idaho Thunder Eggs I missed the last two pages of thunder egg photos when I started this post. Wow! there are some beautiful pieces here. -------------------- |

Thanks for watching JMann, glad you liked it.
 Welcome to the CP site pebblepupdotcom, if you like the thundereggs you will find many pages, pics, and info around here about them. We kinda' like em' too.  Make yourself right at home browsing around. Checked out some of your egg pics too.....very nice!We all look forward to seeing some posts about your adventures. Here's a pic from the webcam with another of the Baker pit eggs cut. Was actually cracked open on one side, lower 2, but still will produce (after unscrambling  ) a nice half egg, plus a really cool guitar pick and a heart carving. All showing the very cool "dancing bands". More pics coming soon................. CP -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

Maybe you might have better luck downloading it from YouTube - ThunderEgg Cutting 1.
You want more ThunderEgg pics Jack......You got it! Here is a picture of the outside of a Oregon ThunderEgg.....Sure looks interesting doesnt it?  Even more interesting what could be inside these beauties sometimes.  Amazing how one side of these doubles is light and the other is dark! Yin Yang ThunderEggs?...hehe  More ThunderEggs coming soon...... -------------------- Education is the key to the future,
