That's very pretty Plume Agate, the colours are quite unlike any I've seen before - nice find and fabulous lapidary work! ;D
Thanks for sharing your results, we will be looking forward to seeing more of that stuff! Do the gorgeous plumes run through the centre of the vein? Looks to be quite a range of colours and patterns in that one piece.
Cheers,
Sparkles.

The plume is on the very topmost layer of the agate (oriented as it naturally formed) and it generally doesn't exceed 5-10 mm in thickness.

That's is really cool plume agate. I thought the only plumes came out of graveyard, but this stuff proved me wrong. ;D ;D
Thanks for sharing...when are you inviting us for a trip? ;D ;D
