Mt Hay Thundereggs have embodied within them the volcanic energy from the time of their creation, making them useful to lift you when you feel in need.

They are also called Amulet stone or Star Agate by crystal sellers, so look for them selling under those names.

Their energy is useful to use to boost you when you are feeling unwell, out of sorts or even just lacking the vitality or stamina to get on with your day.
