Welcome to our Thunderegg
Page.
The name Thunderegg originated
from an Oregon Indian Tribe living in the vicinity of the volcanoes of the
Cascade Mountains, who believed that these volcanic nodules were missiles
cast by the Thunder Gods during their quarrels. When referring to nodules
or thundereggs, a common error of terms is often made among collectors &
rockhounds. All species of nodules are nodules, whether they are hollow
or not! Only when a nodule is hollow can it be correctly called a Geode.
On this page we offer a selection
of spectacular geodes and nodules that we collected from the Baker Lode
Geode Mine in New Mexico (formerly known as the Baker Ranch agate nodules).
According to this mine's owner, Robert Paul Colburn (aka The Geode Kid),
"The Baker thundereggs are the rarest of world-class agate nodules and
geodes. The Baker Mine has produced the most colorful agate thundereggs
in the world. Some of the hollow crystal lined specimens have very rare
quartz crystal encrusted stalactites". We considered ourselves very privileged when The Geode Kid allowed us to lead our local club, The Huachuca Mineral & Gem Club, on a Field
Trip to his mine. We have carefully polished the surfaces of each geode to reveal the lustre, depth and beauty that they hold. No two are identical and a unique little world is captured in every one. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
