The resulting spherical rocks became known as thunder eggs. The variety of colors and compositions each thunder egg are due to the mixture of elements from the original magma and dissolved materials the magma absorbs. Native Americans in Oregon named the stones, believing that rival spirits caused thunder by throwing these stones at each other from their homes on Mount Jefferson and Mount Hood.
