Thunder Eggs are rounded volcanic nodules that often contain agate, chalcedony, jasper, quartz, or druzy pockets inside. From the outside, they usually look plain, rough, and earthy, but once cut open they can reveal banding, colour zones, crystal pockets, mossy patterns, or scenic interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1083\" data-start=\"611\"\u003eThunder Eggs are strongly associated with Oregon and are one of the state’s best-known lapidary materials. They formed in volcanic rock when gas pockets or cavities were later filled with silica-rich minerals such as agate, chalcedony, jasper, and quartz. Oregon Thunder Eggs are popular with rockhounds and lapidary artists because each piece cuts differently, making them good material for saw work, polishing practice, specimen halves, and one of a kind display pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1476\" data-start=\"1124\"\u003eTraditionally, Thunder Eggs have been linked with patience and hidden potential, since they look plain outside but hold colourful patterns inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eChemical Composition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: SiO2\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Semi Precious\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Translucent\/ Opaque\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInclusions\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eapproximately 1 pc\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: 6cm x 5cm x 4cm \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight approximately 1 pc\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: 240g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eapproximately 1 pc\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: 7cm x 5.5cm x 3cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight approximately 1 pc\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: 198g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRough is rough.
