Joey 💩

Did you go to prineville powwow this year ?

Lol that’s what the Thunder egg bed looks like when it’s dry. I was there last month on a very rainy day after a very rainy spring. A good chunk of the bed was underwater and the section I was digging in started filling in with water just as I was pulling out a giant half egg about the same size as that broken one you got. On a positive note when it’s raining it really makes it easy to find chunks of agate and chalcedony laying around the mine. No spray bottle needed lol. I picked up so much cool agate that people tossed aside. Great for tumbling. Their thunder eggs are very unique and cool. I’ll be coming back. The guys at the mine were very sweet and helpful. I was literally shivering and sopping wet and they helped me carry my bucket back to my motorhome. In the summer they have full moon digs at night and let people camp in the area just before the egg beds. They also sell other rocks from their other mines. Beautiful picture jasper and agates.

👍👍👍👍👍👍

ah nice rock hounding hah it so hard to to pick some nice rock.

How can I be your new best friend? You have such good energy! And the material isn’t bad either lol

Did you window the broken ones that you dug up?

This is super cool though. Looks like lots of fun. Congratulations

Just a thought. Not judging at all. But at what point are we stealing from nature?

I am in love with you. I live in eastern Idaho. Ive found some cool agate but this is amazing. Are you single? Lol

Oregon competes with all state on Rockhounding Adventure areas.

amazing! thank you for sharing. i'll be going out there next month! loved your video.

Hi, 🌹🙋🏿‍♂️🙋🏿‍♂️❤️❤️❤️

Hello good morning friends what is the usefull of stone oregons, it is witch stone ?

Thanks for sharing the latter film diversity of geodes.

never found a thunder egg, and it a little far to come across the pond, but sure enjoyed the video and your finds, it's real worth the hard work, nice have a good day

Hi

Did you leave the ones that had broken open as you pried them out?

Do you have a video of these big ones cut open?

wow thats a lot of geodes ,those are really nice , like the ones with druzy and quartz pieces , i have a few of those in a collection i got

A better DIY Polka Dot Agate Mine video has not been made. #GreatDirections

Hi

How do you know where to dig?

I'm headed there this summer - great overview. :)

Try polishing the outside. The lines that go through will show light

Nice work on the video. Thanks for sharing.

I have four whole thunder eggs from the "Devils punch bowl" in California. I thought they were geodes until I seen this video.

Hello my nice show me Malaysia from

Great finds! Love those giant nodules!

Looks like so much fun!!

That’s very beautiful, I can’t wait to see a whole herd of wild horses. I think I may have to go check that area out. Thanks for sharing and I’m subbing

Wow that is beautiful and really cool to see you knock it out of the ground!!!!

Has anyone done any rockhounding around Crescent, Oregon? I will be going to visit just a couple of miles south of there and would like to know if there might be good pickings there. Thank you!

nice eggs looks like a lil more work than just picking rocks up off a gravelbar like i do lol

Gorgeous plume! Hard work paid off, super finds.

That looks like so much fun! Definitely going to have to hit that this year, I miss the scrub and juniper. Thanks for sharing the adventure. Looking forward to seeing more!

Looks like a particular hill a couple miles downstream of Succor creek campground across the creek from the road. I could be wrong but the material is very similar.

thats a nice chunk , i think i have some of that in one of my collection videos

Hello Kelly I can provide you Best Specimens and Crystals dugged in Pakistan and Afghanistan mines Must Contact me🥰

Thanks for the informative video! How did you cut the geodes you showed at the end?

Woow... Its huge plume agate... I love it... You so lucky...👍👍👍

Thunder eggs are formed when lava flows over other rocks or sand, which melt and become transformed. Pea sized thunder eggs are common in stream beds and beaches, where tributaries meet the Columbia River as it flows through the Cascades. The Gorge was formed by this river cutting through the layers of basaltic upwelling. Many years would pass between lava flows, during which time the rivers would deposit sand at the confluences. This sand would get subsumed in subsequent upwelling flows, melt and form "silica bubbles" in the cooling lava. In many cases, all that would be left is the crystalline shell, the egg shell, into which would be deposited minerals, by water, through cracks, in a similar process to the way cellulose and fiber is replaced by minerals, when wood is petrified.

Those are some gem level rock if you ask me

👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍 awesome
