CenaOd 18,00C$

The Rhea egg shape is oval in comparison to Ostrich eggs and less porous.

SIZES:

Xtra Small approx 4”. (comparison to a large goose egg).

Small 5-6"

Medium 6-7".

Measurements are from centre top to centre bottom.

  • Colours vary from off-white to yellowish green tint on the shell. The yellow tint can be etched to a white in 10%+ vinegar or an etching acid by the buyer.
  • A natural element on some Rhea eggs is a mild swirl which can be sanded out.
  • Rhea eggs are not commonly found in Canada & are seasonal.
  • (Rhea eggshells from E.S.T.D.F ship within Canada only unless stated otherwise).

 

SECONDS are also listed. They are very usable. One may need more sanding than others, have the drain hole at the wrong end, or have a bit of an odd shape. IDEAL for all crafts. Please inquire if not sure about a "seconds" choice.

  • What you need to know...

    All eggshells are candled against cracks and other defects. Guaranteed structurally sound.

    Eggshells have one small drilled hole, centred, on the wide end bottom, blown out, washed (no harsh chemicals) & rinsed inside and outside of the shell.  Eggshells are air-dried. The cleaning process will not affect dyes or other materials. If stains or shadows are present on white egg surfaces, they will disappear during dyes and etching. Optional: Plug the drain hole and soak in vinegar for 1 minute. A light scrub and rinse. (Maran eggs can not be scrubbed)

    • Remove all wraps after receiving your package and inspect all the eggshells.  
    • PLEASE BE SURE TO ALLOW 24 -48 hours in house temperature before use.
