Shearing Corral Creek Bed

The Shearing Corral Creek Bed, located in Malheur County, Oregon, is a lesser-known thunderegg site that yields nodules with distinctive agate interiors and natural desert charm. Thundereggs from this bed often feature soft grays, whites, and warm browns, occasionally accented with subtle moss or plume inclusions. The rhyolite matrix is typically weathered and light-colored, with eggs ranging from small to medium in size. While not as prolific as some of the region’s more famous sites, Shearing Corral Creek material is valued by collectors for its subtle beauty, solid cutting quality, and the quiet appeal of a remote, underexplored location.
