Hello, please help with this thunderegg ID. I bought this thunderegg at Richardson Ranch last summer. It was in one of buckets at rockshop. Thank you, yurila Unpolished half. Picture was taken outside. Actual thunderegg is greener. Polished half. It was scanned on scanner, the color is close to natural color of this rock.

I can't say for sure - OREGON sure has a pile of thunderegg sites - with the green - I thought maybe killer green eggs, but those don't show that banding/layering in the matrix that your specimen possesses. but there are two places to do research. First is Dwarves' Earth Treasures - which is the first place I go for any ID of agate nodule/geode material that I don't know. It is an excellent site. Again, it is hit and miss. OR and NM are very well covered, but CA is barely touched. Here is the t-egg overview: www.sailorenergy.net/Minerals/DwarvesETAgatesEggsThunderEggs.htmlThe second is a site I just stumbled across last night. It goes through worldwide locations and provides pictures of material. It's hit and miss for the most part - as California doesn't have a single entry - but Oregon t-egg sites are plentiful. See below link: www.mineralworld.de/html/oregon_engl.htmlGood luck! Lowell
