Valley View Bed

The Valley View Bed in Crook County, Oregon, is a scenic thunderegg site known for producing nodules with vivid, multicolored agate centers and well-defined patterns. Collectors prize eggs from this bed for their strong fortification banding, mossy textures, and occasional pockets of druzy quartz. The matrix tends to be light-colored rhyolite, which highlights the rich internal colors—ranging from deep reds and purples to soft blues and grays. Though not as high-volume as some nearby locations, Valley View material is visually striking and highly sought after by both cutters and display collectors.
