Unlike most Oregon thundereggs that feature agate cores, White Fir Springs is distinctive for its jasper-filled cores, typically in creamy tan, yellow, beige, pink, reddish, and sunset hues. The iconic white rhyolite skin makes these eggs easy to identify in the field. Less commonly, pieces with chocolate-toned cores turn up, standing out among the creamier typical material with an almost smoky complexion. The original deposit is now a public rockhounding site, with only old stock material legal for commercial trade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe \u003cem\u003echocolate variety\u003c\/em\u003e of White Fir is \u003cstrong\u003efar rarer\u003c\/strong\u003e than the creamy tans and sunsets typical of the bed.
