Welcome To Our Life Passion

 We are a family of Rockhounds living in Southern Oregon, that have been digging and collecting specimen quality rocks since 1960. Our family has traveled to many remote destinations in the Western U.S. where we set up our camp site, usually with long time family friends. Camping with family and friends, sharing stories and seeing what treasures everyone digs from their own hole, or finds while out exploring builds wonderful memories. What has captured our families interest the most is Petrified Wood. Its so wondrous to see the shape and grain of a once living tree preserved as stone. Here at our Rock Shop we do all the cutting, sanding, and polishing of these unique collectables.

A Little Information On Petrified Wood & Thundereggs

 Although not much is known about how or why a tree becomes petrified, it is now thought that it takes place through a process known as infiltration. As the sediment water, rich in minerals, seeped into the wood, it deposited the minerals in the air spaces within the wood tissues until all of the microscopic spaces in the wood were filled. It is theorized that the original wood acted as a framework to hold the minerals as they solidified, and the logs literally became stone with only 2% of their volume taken up by wood cellulose fiber. The mineral deposited in the wood was silica in all its various forms. Petrified Wood logs of almost pure silica are white or light tan or gray. But impurities in the silica, such as iron oxide, stain the trunks yellow, orange, rust and red while manganese oxide creates blue, black or purple colors. What is a Thunderegg ? Thundereggs are spherical masses of rock that range in size from less than an inch to four feet in diameter . Most are about the size of a baseball . They have a knobby rind of drab , siliceous rock and a cavity filled with agate . From the out side they appear nondescript , but when sawed open and polished they may reveal the most exquisite and colorful designs ranging from five-pointed stars to miniature gardens . History of The Name : The Warm Springs Indians have been given credit for "long ago" originating the name . As the legend goes, ". . . the two adjacent snow capped peaks - - Mt. Hood and Mt. Jefferson - - would at times become angry with one another . During these disputes, accompanied with thunder, Mt. hood and Mt. Jefferson would hurl these spherical masses of rock at each other . Stray shots would land over in the Indian reservation, hence the Indian name of ' thunder eggs '." Origin of Thundereggs : Thundereggs are only found in areas of previous volcanic activity . As silicic lavas poured out on the ground, the gasses made it frothy and bubbly . The lava cooled and over a period of millions of years, became buried . Water, which contains many minerals including silica, penetrated the gas pockets through a crack in the nodule. As water slowly dissipated, the solution deposited agate ( chalcedong SiO2 ) .
