harrygeodes Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 this was found in oregon last week it is a thunder egg but i have never seen anything like whats inside of this one before. im pretty sure its too thin and fine to be arrogonite but natrolite r another zeolite look fitting.

weaver hillbille Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I wonder what that would have looked like tumble polished prior to a window being cut. Pretty bauble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob(AK) Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 That is what is fun with thunder eggs, never know what you will discover inside. I agree with zeolites, could be one of several possibilities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clay Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Nice findLooks like Mesolite.Here's some Mesolite (fuzzy balls) with Chabazite (white cubes) and Naturolite (white base). All Zeolites.Delicate stuff make sure you protect it from inquisitive fingers and dust. This specimen went by the wayside from people poking at it. It only takes one touch.

4meter Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 That's a very nice find. How big is the cavity containing the minerals? I really like the color of the surrounding matrix; that is a pretty green color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
