Description

*Update 12-31-22: Only one of the large slabs was found. Not sure if this is it or not, but hoping so seeing as there was a location tag but no accession number on this slab.* Two slices of a Thunderegg from Oak Springs near the Warm Springs Indian Reservation in Maupin, OR (North Central OR) varying in thickness. Polished sides show Dark Central areas (differing in size between pieces) in Dark and Light Blue Grey with Black contour line and Black spots (Stalactites) and some Crystalline holes and bedding lines with White on one. Surrounding rock is in Pinks and Browns with Black and Grey Silicate filler, some White.
