    I'm 62, read thousands of books, lived on several continents, watched God knows how many documentaries, but I'd never heard of thunder eggs. Goes to show you - there is always something fantastic to discover.

    Thank you for teaching me about thunder eggs, I had never heard of them before & I'm 69 years old I know quite a bit about gems &stones like Moss agate Jasper onyx and so on but thundereggs totally stumped me. I love you learn about Nature's beauties so once again thank you very much for teaching an old woman new tricks lol, have a great life and keep teaching 👍🤗

    I was fortunate to have found 3 Thunder Eggs this season agate hunting up in the UP of MI by Superior out of a quarry. That specific area has thunder eggs, but it is much more well known for the beautiful Lake Superior agates we find there. A sliced Thunder Egg reminds me, in some ways, of some sliced moss agates. In fact, the first Thunder Egg I found in that area was about the size of a baseball and at first, I thought it was a moss agate. I have one Egg from OR that was given to me by my son in law, who lives out there, and the OR Thunder Eggs seem to have a wider variety of colors than the ones we find in that area of the UP of MI.

  • @robertbradford3461
    @robertbradford3461 6 років тому +50

    Im not sure why everyone is saying we don't know how these are formed, we learned about this in seventh grade earth science. Thunder eggs are almost like geodes they form the same way as gold and quartz super heat and under super amounts of pressure turns it all into a slurry of gases that come up from way down and as soon as it finds space it begins to cool and pressure lowers the gases cool condensing and depositing what it carries on to the surrounded rock. Slowly over centuries the void is filled completely making a thunder egg, when the void is not completely filled it's called a geode. Oh you can have both a geode within a thunder egg those are super amazing, but you can't have a thunder egg inside a geode

    • @robertbradford3461
      @robertbradford3461 6 років тому +15

      Kurt Fox listen fuck nuts at 3:25 or so the "expert" says that they dont know how they are formed. And that's bulshit because we do know how they are formed
      I try and only comment on video topic and or subject, but when you comment on my comment and haven't even watched the video we're talking about, that kinda makes you the loser.
      Have a nice day

    I just found my very first thunder egg. In a dirt lot in my town, just a couple blocks away, *somewhere* in the Mojave desert. Alas, I don't have a big enough blade for it, it's a bit bigger than a softball. God I love rockhounding! I also love how lucky I've been hunting IN TOWN. Methinks nobody but me knows about these places, but since it's not isolated I wonder if people know what I'm doing and move in on my secret locations...

  • @stevenkimball5592
    @stevenkimball5592 5 років тому

    My theory about how geodes are created is that when during an eruption there are globules of lava tossed into the atmosphere that cool enough before landing to form a shell. Then as they become part of the pyroclastic flow steam is injected into them furthering the cooling causing them to seal further and from the partial evaporation of the liquid inside, crystals are formed making the beauty within. Just a thought.

      Cameron Driscoll a geode is a non specific term used for any hollow rock with crystaline formations inside, does not mean a thunder eggs isn't a type of geode but it's usually not hollow

    • @franciscosilva754
      @franciscosilva754 6 років тому +8

      Thunder eggs are rhyolite shells with solid jasper agate or crystals, while geodes are hollow with crystal formations. Not synonymous with eachother to answer your question.

    • @brainimp
      @brainimp 6 років тому +3

      Geodes are not always hollow, if given enough time and exposure to dissolved minerals they become solid, the formations in the rocks in the video seem to form exactly the same way, but the rocks the minerals seeped in may have formed slightly different
