The Ochs Ranch, located in Jefferson County, Oregon, is a respected thunderegg locality that produces nodules with distinctive internal patterns and vibrant color. Eggs from this site are known for their rich agate centers, often displaying reds, oranges, grays, and soft blues, along with moss or plume inclusions that create depth and visual complexity. The rhyolite matrix is typically tan to reddish and moderately weathered, with eggs ranging from small to large and often quite solid. Ochs Ranch thundereggs are valued for their reliable cutting quality and strong aesthetic appeal, making them a popular choice among collectors and lapidary artists alike.
