General Meeting – Thursday, January 12th
Topic: Thunder Eggs
This January, we’ll storm into the year’s presentations with a crowd favorite – Thunder Eggs!
We’ll begin with some fascinating Thunder Egg science – how they’re formed, what they’re made of, where they can be found, etc. – and then we’ll jump into a fun Show-n-Tell. Share some of your favorite Thunder Egg specimens from your collection.
Members will vote on their favorite Thunder Eggs.
The door prize winners will be the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place Thunder Egg owners.
Show ‘n Tell: Bring a few of your favorite Thunder Eggs to share, along with your favorite Thunder Egg stories and cutting/polishing advice.
Myth: The Thunder Egg was believed by the Pacific Northwest Native Americans to be thunderous rock eggs thrown across the valley between Mount Hood and Mount Jefferson in Oregon by the warring Thunder Gods whenever they became angry with or jealous of each other. Hence, the English version of the Indian name is “thunder eggs.”
We’ll see you there!
