Why thunderegg and not geode? The spherical rhyolite matrix makes it a thunderegg. They are also known as lithophysaeWe have this discussion a lot in a thunderegg forum I'm in.......It is also said that a thunderegg can be a geode,but a geode could never be a thunderegg....LOL I have a few eggs to prove that.... My wife and I collect both,she love geodes and I thundereggs..........
