Advanced Student Thunder Egg Collection (702)  Wow!  24 beautifully polished thunder eggs in an attractive plastic display case with see-through lid.  The box measures 8 inches x 13 inches x 2.25 inches deep.  Each compartment measures 2 inches x 2 inches x 2.25 inches deep.  The thunder eggs will vary from kit to kit depending on availability.  However, I will ensure that there will always be a great variety.  This is a great way to get a sampling of a lot of thunder eggs.  A terrific buy at $120.00. I will ensure that each set comes with a wide variety of superbly polished eggs.    

The Mount St. Helens Collection (703)  Wow!  10 specimens from the Mount St. Helens volcanic area, personally collected by me (these were not collected within the US Park Memorial boundaries!!).  Specimens include granular basalt, vesicular basalt, rhyolite pumice from the eruption of the 1800s, pumice from the 1980 eruption, dacite, porpyry basalt, calcite on dacite, sandstone, rhyolite, and volcanic ash from the 1980 eruption.  Each specimen is identified as to the specific location found.  THIS SET COMES WITH AN ATTRACTIVE EXPLANATORY BROCHURE.    A wonderful collection! $35.00.  Please see the maps below.

The map to the right of Washington State shows the three areas in which the specimens for The Mt. St. Helens Kit were found.  "Awesome" is about the only word that would describe this amazing scene.  Even standing 6-8 miles away from the volcano, it still gives the impression that you are standing right in front of it.  Truly a breathtaking picture!

 The Deluxe Volcano Kit $40.00

Mt. Rainier/Mt. St. Helens Kit (705) $31.00

10 samples from two famous volcanoes.  Five are from Mt. Rainier and five from Mt. St. Helens.  Mt. Rainier is considered to be the most dangerous volcano in the US.  It has more glaciers than any other mountain in the country.  The volcano is active and as these glaciers melt, as they have in the past, the run-off, known as lahars, will flood miles of inhabited countryside.  Many lives will be lost and millions of dollars of property will be ruined.  Keep an eye on this volcano!

 

Volcanic Rocks of the Northwest (706) $36.00

18 samples from 7 volcanoes.  Mt. Shasta, Mt. Mazama (Crater Lake), Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Hood, Mt. Jefferson, a cinder cone near Bend, Oregon and the Yellowstone Super Volcano are all represented in this kit.

The Yellowstone Super Volcano (Caldera) (707) $31.00

Over the last few years geologists have come to realize that the volcanic features of Yellowstone Park are not isolated thermal features.  They are all part of a large caldera.  This has been dubbed, The Yellowstone Super Volcano.  It is huge.  This kit contains 10 samples from four different areas along the rim of this caldera - West Yellowstone, Gardiner, Cooke City and the Wapiti Valley.  All specimens were collected outside the Park boundaries and are authentic.

 

The Cascades Volcano Kit  $45.00

I am personally fascinated with volcanoes.  From my travels I have put together a kit of 18 samples from major Cascade Volcanoes in Washington, Oregon and California.  The Cascade Range extends from Northern California into British Columbia.  The mountains that comprise this Range are mostly volcanoes.  This kit contains volcanic samples from most of the volcanoes in this Range in the continental United States.  Samples come from active Mt. Baker in Northern Washington all the way to the active volcano, Mt. Lassen in California and from several in between.
