A couple years ago, Julie from AZ Rockhound Expeditions and her son set out on a trip to the famous Dugway Geode Beds in Utah where they made a pretty amazing find; buried in the middle of the road was a massive geode! Or…was it a thunderegg?

Well, they weren’t sure. And there’s only one way to find out!…cut it open!

While they thought for sure the rock was hollow, a lot of other folks were in the “solid” thunderegg camp. Who was right?

The Verdict

So, was this mysterious rock a geode or a thunderegg? Well…it’s actually both a thunderegg AND a geode!

According to Kyla Abegglen, who commented on the video, “Actually it’s a thunder egg first, because it formed in rhyolite, and a geode also because of the cavity and crystals. A thunder egg can also be a geoded but a geode can never be a thunder egg.

She goes on to say, “That was a fabulous find, probably a once in a lifetime! It is amazing and gorgeous, that’s the important part!”
