Really liking those, Mike. Especially the third one. It has such a three dimensional look, like a ramp or stairs in a cave. Those always take such a nice polish, because they are so dang hard!
Thanks for sharing!

I agree, that third one is awesome. Nice cabs all around.

The matrix around the thundereggs is called the cap.... When you cut the egg,sometimes (very seldom),a cap will break off.. If it does and you can't repair it,than it's not sellable... So you just have an agate that is exposed without matrix.. Nobody wants them than..

And here I was trying to figure out how to get rid of the 'caps' to get to the 'cool part'. Sounds like I shouldn't be telling that, huh? Lot's to learn...

I'm currently obsessed with t-eggs and trying to soak up information like a sponge.

Looks to me like the best thundereggs are "garbage" to many. Lol
I have a pile of moss bed eggs, that i am tumbling off the crust, when I can. Im close.
