Dry Creek Bed

The Dry Creek Bed in Harney County, Oregon, is a lesser-known but rewarding thunderegg site tucked within the county’s broad, volcanic terrain. Eggs from this area tend to be medium to large in size, with interiors that often display subtle agate banding, soft grays and blues, and occasional moss or dendritic inclusions. The rhyolite matrix is typically rough and pale, blending in with the high desert soil. While not as flashy as material from more commercial beds, Dry Creek thundereggs are valued for their natural, understated beauty and are a favorite among collectors who appreciate variety and quiet detail.
