Bought on ebay as "ID Plume Agate". Seems to be white/sand plume in clear/honey colored agate. All pictures taken wet. Seems very hard. Some pieces have pitting in the plumes. I will post a polished piece when I have one. (Clickable thubanils)     |

Idaho Plume can also be noted as Graveyard Plume, as the seam formation i have seen is found on either side of the Oregon/Idaho Border. As Regency is found in Idaho, But Classic Graveyard or Northridge plume is found in Oregon. But all location i have seen produce very similar formations, so its easy to confuse.
When the agate is real clear like in the last photo, allot of cutters like to back the cab with a black stone like Basonite, which helps the plume stand out better and adds a bluish color.
