Succor Creek Bed

The Succor Creek Bed, located in Malheur County, Oregon, is one of the region’s most well-known and scenic thunderegg sites. Nestled in rugged canyon country near the Idaho border, this area produces thundereggs with striking agate centers in a wide range of colors—including red, orange, gray, and lavender—often with moss, plume, or sagenite inclusions. The rhyolite matrix is typically dense and tan to reddish, and the eggs vary in size but are often solid and well-formed. Succor Creek material is highly prized by collectors and lapidaries for its vivid internal detail and historical significance, making it a favorite among Oregon thunderegg beds.
