“... This is one of few thunderegg sites I discovered (or re-discovered) on my own. I spotted some white rocks and approached them. Almost immediately, I noticed an "orange star" over there. It turned out that the "orange star" is a weathered thunderegg core showing orange to red Laguna-like banding and the name stuck. I asked Paul "GeodeKid" Calburn about that site and he said that I may have re-discovered one of Pete Ghitney's several lost agate mines since the site had been disturbed by a bulldozer but then buried.... The agates are typically colorless rimmed with reddish orange primary bands and few thundereggs contain colorful banded agates comparable to Laguna Agates....”
