Amazing colors, with fantastic plume! Almost looks like colored feathers. I'll post pics later.

Thanks for the kudos on the pic.....that one is actually one I took and I guess it did turn out ok.
 Here is another site we found recently with some more awesome photoghraphy of killer Colorado T-eggs. Collected by the photographer (Joe) over the last 45 years. Be warned though, you will need 30 minutes ....or more, refill the coffee first then sit down. Some very nice looking stuff!

Here is a closeup of another Colorado beauty after cutting it open. These sure have great plume!
I made this picture a bit bigger so it can be used as a desktop background. Enjoy!

Here's a final finish on the Thunderegg in the first picture. About the size of a softball......didn't turn out too bad at all.
 Picture is full size for details if ya' like.....just click on the pic.

While out prospecting yesterday, Timmy found this Thunderegg! It was half in the ground, but my little prospector spotted it.
Pretty nice find Timmy! Cant wait to see whats inside it. I hope its one of the best! He deserves it.

Nice try Jim, but sorry no can do.
 That's his first thunderegg find so we'll cut it and polish it out for him. It feels nice and solid, we'll see when it's cut open. Good news is, he found that on one of the new researched areas that will soon be posted for ColoradoProspector club members! I got a hankerin' to do some more diggin after all this research!   Anyone want to know if there are more to find?  Check out the club members researched areas updates to be posted over the next few days.CP -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator
