Oregon Thundereggs: History, Lore and Identification

The Van Cura Thunderegg Collection For about 30 years Joe and Janice Van Cura have been collecting thundereggs. Since they live in Oregon, and Oregon is known as one of the best spots in the world to collect thundereggs, most of their collection is from there. This book highlights over 650 of their best specimens from 120 locations. Janice shares in anecdotal, first-person style the history, lore, and location of these specimens. There are several calderas formed by ancient volcanoes in Oregon that are associated with deposits of thundereggs. Each deposit had slightly different chemistry so the thundereggs formed with varying characteristics. This led to the amazing display of sizes, shapes, colors, and patterns you will see throughout the book. They hope that this book might introduce you to the world of Oregon thundereggs, and what might be inside them. Happy Hunting!
