Dang Shain, that Plumosa Mountain Plume is a dead ringer for Fluorite Mine Plume from the Cady Mountains and Bloody Basin Plume too. It's so neat how similar geology seems to produce copycat agates and jaspers from different locations. Great cabs too!...mel Cady's Plume:   |

Thanks folks,
Mel; Those are real close looking for certain. AS when i frist receved the rough, i swore is was Blood Basin(AZ agate). But after talking further with the selling, i do believe this to be a location of new. I am finding the yellow color in this Plomosa stuff, is more on the brown side. And the most recent piece i cut up for cabochons, held areas of Black Druzy! And man, can this rough be a pain to oreinatate so you get the plumes and no partials.
Cher; The luna is the Purple and White, and the Jasperella is the small group of red cabs to the bottom left.
Kim; I dont do any jewelry, i have way to many customers who do that, i just do the stone cutting. The Yellow Opal set photo should of came up, it is finished and ready for retail. Most times if i cut something for a customer who placed an order to have something cut. I rarly post it on places like this, becasue then i get hit with a bunch of emails asking if its for sale. This yellow opal set will go up for sale in the coming week.
Ed; Jasperella is mined Near Quartzsite. and its actually comes from the Plomosa Mtns, were this new plume jasper is found. The compnay who has the claim is "Teddy Rigde Mining company" I have his mailing address, but i am waiting to hear back on an email or phone so i can talk with them more driectly about the rough and what they have left, if its still being mined, etc. etc.
Thanks again folks for the comments.

cool stones! Jasperella (the name not the stones) kinda sounds like a mixture of Barbarella (Jane Fonda) and Elvira (the whacked out woman that used to host the monster movies on saturday nights).
i digress, sorry......
