I have lost my computer and all of my bookmarks including those of recent weeks that I was using to help learn my stones. I know that this is a popular Thunderegg species but which one? We haven't done anything except slab it open but thanks to the cutting oil you can get an idea of what it will look like once we can polish it properly! If some kind person can link me again to the site that helps to tell the localities of Thundereggs so I can educate myself, I would be really grateful. I have started a slow project to photograph and catalog my personal collection. When we move on to the next world, we'd like other people to know what these fine stones are and how they got here. But it's slow going because right now I don't even know what I have. For instance...How did I forget that I owned THIS Brazilian beauty that I found while doing some clean-up on Thursday? ?

Thanks, all! Those links were in the missing "bookmarks," I knew I could count on you folks to let me know where they lived.

Hey Yogi - Thanks for plugging my site hehehe. This is a great looking Thunderegg, but afraid I cannot be certain what it is. I know for a fact it's not Oregon. My guess is either California or New Mexico? My gut feeling is this is more of the California based stone. I'll dig around and see what I might be able to match it with. I have specimens from all over the world. Jason www.oregonthundereggs.com

Jason, your site is one that I'd lost the link to when my hard drive crashed. Glad to have it back, will be reviewing some of your thunderegg photos on your site at more length when I have some time. What a great collection you have put together there. I thought Deming, New Mexico but don't see anything quite like mine. Will check out the California suggestion next...
