Geocache Description:

Thunder eggs are round agate-filled nodules which form in some types of silica-rich volcanic rocks eg. rhyolites. As the molten volcanic lava cooled, steam and other gases trapped in the lava formed an expanding bubble. Silica minerals often crystallise around the bubble or grow crystal fibres which radiate outwards from the its centre. These mineral-filled bubbles with a radiating structure are called spherulites. If you have a diamond tipped saw... cut them in half!!! They're beautiful!!!

Fun Cache on the way to Parker Canyon Lake. While you go camping or just go to enjoy the pond, stop by and cache! Lots of fun stuff to start off including many solid geodes found near Safford, AZ. Enjoy! PS. This large .50 cal Ammo box is broken, but shuts tightly. please place it UPRIGHT so that it stays dry. Thanks! Congrats to Sky Island for FTF!
