I have a second egg as well If you order Item #BIG-002 the second egg looks about the same as the above photo, however it weighs 40lbs, and will fit perfect into a large flat rate box. Price would be $40.00 + $12.95 Shipping.

These usually sell very quick every time I list them. My inventory of "quality" rough is getting slim, so these are probably the last boxes of these specific Localities I'll be selling.

First we have a Flat Rate Package of rough Friends Ranch Thundereggs. This box is stuffed with 23 Pounds of rough Thundereggs for you to cut open. The Thundereggs range in size from 2" to 4" specimens. Item number is FRFR-001 and this item is SOLD!

Second we have a Flat Rate Package of rough Richardsons Ranch Thundereggs. This box is stuffed with 24 Pounds of rough Thundereggs for you to cut open. The sizes range from 1.5" to 3" specimens. it's a mixture of various beds from the Ranch. Due to the nature of these eggs, some of the specimens are missing the "caps" they are still nice quality eggs, it's just missing the matrix in areas. Item number is RRFR-001 and Price is $39.99+ $9.80 shipping for a grand total of $49.79.

Soon I'll try to get more of these boxes of other types... McDermitt, Succor Creek and Mix boxes. Thanks!


Lets try something new. Tumbled Stones! These are all tumbled/polished here at the shop. The photo seen is taken from the actual bin I package these stones from. Your buying (1) Pound of Polished stones. This is a mixture of materials from Agate, Jaspers, Petrified Woods, and many more. The sizes range from small chips, to pieces 1" and larger and contain many shapes... I often use broken slabs when tumbling so there's a nice variety for you to enjoy.
The price on these is $5.99 per (1) Pound Bag + Shipping. Right now I have sold the original 5 bags, If interested please send a email, and I'll have more soon! Thanks!
