The“Officer Family” Quality Standard:
Mostbulk sellers simply shovel a random mix of "mystery"material onto a scale. This often results in lots packed with brokencaps, halves, and tumbler scraps. We do it differently. My family hasbeen hand-digging Oregon Thundereggs for decades. We personallyhand-grade every single lot. By separating these categories, you knowexactly what to expect when placing an order.
(WeHave 4 Quality Levels of T-Eggs)
Lvl 1 = Thunderegg Lot ~ not over 25% are missing some matrix or capped.
Lvl 2 = Thunderegg CAPPED Lot ~ all missing some matrix or capped.
Lvl 3 = Thunderegg HALVES Lot ~ all missing matrix / capped / up to half is missing.
Lvl 4 = Thunderegg Chunks Lot ~ Tumbler CHUNKS to be TUMBLED.
(ThisOrder is a Lvl-1 Lot) = (Each Piece Will Result Into At Least 2Workable Halves After Cut)
NaturalForm & Shape Note:
Pleasenote that thundereggs are natural, dug specimens and come in oblong,round, or uniquely odd shapes.Specifically,WhiteFir Jasper Thundereggsarerarely round and are typically uniquely shaped. Minor chips ornatural flat spots in the exterior matrix are common and to beexpected in rough material. You are buying directly from thesource—genuine Oregon material mined by the Officer family.
