Thundereggs from Turkey

Alongside the really big thunderegg locations - the USA and Germany -Turkey is actually one of the more significant countries for these rocks. The agates from the area around Ankara are famous around the world, and rightly so. Vivid, colourful and filled with interesting inclusion, they are truly special. The classification here is somewhat limited, with a few locations defined but a vast amount going on within that. Susuz Village is probably the richest and most famous spot, and a glance at the page will show a dizzying variety of geologies, colours and shapes.
