Indian Creek Bed

The Indian Creek Bed in Harney County, Oregon, is a productive thunderegg site known for yielding nodules with striking internal contrasts and complex patterns. Thundereggs from this location often feature clear to milky agate centers with vivid red, yellow, or orange moss and plume inclusions. Some specimens contain quartz-lined pockets or finely banded fortification agate, making them excellent candidates for lapidary work. The matrix is typically a light gray to tan rhyolite, often rough-textured and weathered. Indian Creek material is well-regarded among collectors for its strong visual character and consistent cutting quality.
