I love how much the inside of thundereggs can resemble landscapes! as a person who likes to paint landscapes (NOT a professional!! just a hobby) I'd love to paint some based of of thundereggs. I have one in my collection that looks like the moon over the water, very pretty.

[@TeachMeLordGod]

Right! Some look like beautiful views of mountains, lakes and with a sky! Giving some Bob Ross vibes with some!

[@64cuspofchange]

Yes ! The insides kinda make me think about the beginning of creation . Like in harmony with the Genesis account in the Bible.

They really do have a nature scene!

Yeah the one at 4:43 looked like mountains to me!

You can see so many pretty pictures in them. From nebula’s to snowy horizons to skies touching oceans & more. And just when I thought I’d found my favourite of the bunch the next one turned out to be even better than the last! Very cool stuff. 😄

[@Sookielein]

Oh wow they're so pretty. I like the outer layer.It's like a frame for a painting.

[@bonniephelps6281]

Absolutely in love with watching you cut those Thunder eggs. Gorgeous banding!

[@largent45]

How much fun was that? Your excitement is worth it! Richardson Ranch eggs are amazing. And since you cant dig them yourself anymore, makes them all the more special. And the opal filled eggs looked like maybe they were succor creek eggs. But they were all spectacular! Im glad they were fun and not duds for you! I like the one with the little geode vugs of drusy in it! The side with the two vugs looks like a character from nightmare before christmas! Thanks for sharing your beautiful thundereggs! i know you are going to have a blast polishing them for sure!

Randomly see this awesome vid. Never heard of thunder eggs before. At first, i saw random formations of geo-stuff. At 4:49 , i saw portait of a lakeside at night with full of stars. I think thats the magic with those stones. After that, each stone looked like something. Somewhere from space, lake, forest, sea, sunset...

I wonder if it's possible to dissolve or burn off the outer layer, leaving just the 'glass egg' inside?

[@soupmanofthecan8325]

are you talking about the like brown parts or just the surface?

[@Jayasree0627]

@@soupmanofthecan8325 probably the surface

[@sparkysmalarkey]

@@soupmanofthecan8325 I had an assumption that was way off base. I thought they were like natural fulgurites, when you use a metal rod to cause lightning strikes to hit pure sand, creating glass. Thunder eggs are a geological formation where mineral and agate can be drawn in to a hot gas bubble. I was curious if you could remove the entire outer layer, leaving just the mineral/agate formation in the center. Instead of a 2D slice or half, the 3D part in the center. I do not think it is possible, maybe with a laser and a computer, someone could make a 3D model and print it, idk.

[@khoinex3]

The last egg looks like a nebula, so gorgeous
