Welcome
The purpose of this site is to share with you my
collection of polished eggs made of minerals and stone, of wood and my decorative eggs,
as well as very beautiful eggs owned by a friend and fellow egg collector. I currently have in
my collection more than 1,200 eggs made of material coming from more than 75 countries.
The collection of mineral and stone eggs is classified by alphabetical order and numerical order.
Under ‘Grouping’, you can see a page on eggs from Mont St-Hilaire, a page on fluorescent and
tenebrescent eggs and a page on eggs made of fossil material. When looking at the larger size
picture of the egg, if available or applicable, you will also see pictures of the egg from
other angles, close-ups, the material before it was made into an egg, the egg in
fluorescence or tenebrescence, the egg under backlight, etc..
All the missing
numbers represent eggs that are no longer in my collection (sold or exchanged) or
specimens that are not eggs.
In this site, clicking on a small picture gives
you a larger one, and clicking on the large picture brings you back. Since January
2016 a new browser has been added, so that when you click on a thumbnail you will
see not only this picture in a larger format, but also all the pictures relating
to this egg. It is because of the judicious advice from 2 of my friends that I was
able to completely rewrite this new site: Claude Pélisson
from France, programmer and egg collector and Pierre Desmarais
programmer from Montréal, Québec.
A few eggs are also available for purchase or exchange...
Thank you and enjoy your visit
