Golden Glow Bed

The Golden Glow Bed, located in Malheur County, Oregon, is a thunderegg site known for its warm, vibrant interiors that often feature golden-yellow, amber, and honey-toned agate. These thundereggs frequently display soft banding, translucent zones, and occasional moss or dendritic inclusions that enhance their visual depth. The rhyolite matrix is typically light to reddish-tan, and the nodules are solid and well-formed—ideal for cutting and polishing. Golden Glow material is especially prized by lapidary artists for its rich coloration and ability to take a high polish, making it a standout among Oregon’s many desert thunderegg beds.
