Went out at 5:30 am this morning to make a long hike into a spot where i've been digging some plume agate I refer to as Jackhammer plume. Looking West to the old Carey digs. You can see them in the background were the grounds been cut. But not close to where I was headed.  What this plume looks like in the rough.  What it looks like cut.  Some of it has blue moss inclusion in it. See in bottom of this piece.  Dont mind the spit.  Anyways... thats all. I came out with a good amount (not pictured). Just wanted to share a piece I found and cut. |

Really nice stuff! Looks like a beautiful hike. Must be tough hiking out loaded down with rock.

I wasn't doing doublets back then. I wonder if cut thin if it would make a good doublet with a white background material... |
