The thunderegg sites from Poland are all in Lower Silesia, from the Góry Kaczawskie (Bober-Katzbach Mts.). There are only a few sources there, but all with very beautiful eggs.
Gozdno
size: 60x50 mm
A beautiful lithophysae agate from the rarely seen site Gozdno in Lower Silesia. It has a nice crystal center with a red snakeskin pattern.
Nowy Kosciol
Nowy Kosciol (ger: Neukirch) is the best known site in Poland for thundereggs. There are several sub-locations around the area.
