📝 Material Overview, History, and Geology
Moss Bed Thundereggs are considered by many collectors to be among the finest moss thundereggs in the world, and it’s easy to see why. These thundereggs can contain a wide range of colors, including blue agate, orange, green, red, purple, and more. Many also feature striking tube druzy pockets, while the highly sought-after streamer moss formations remain the most iconic and unique characteristic. Each specimen cuts beautifully and can polish to reveal intricate, vivid scenes.
The Priday Moss Bed was once open for hand digging, and anyone who collected there remembers the tough summer work required to extract quality specimens from the hard rock deposit. Today, the mine is closed to the public, making old stock material the only source for these world-class thundereggs. With their dazzling colors, collectible history, and geological significance, Priday Moss Bed thundereggs remain highly prized by both lapidary artists and thunderegg collectors.
