Ostrich eggs are the largest in the world. A typical ostrich egg weighs between 1.2-1.5 kg with the largest specimens weighing up to 2 kg. Ostrich eggs have a strong solid shell thickness of 0.6 mm. The surface is glossy with small hollow points, and are usually pale straw color. The color of eggs may vary in the direction of paler or darker, depending on the bird's feathers. In skilled hands ostrich eggs are transformed into works of art and are popular with collectors. In addition to ostrich eggs and chicken eggs, pysanky are also made using quail eggs, goose eggs, and duck eggs. Bravo Pysanka http://www.bravopysanka.com
