Some pictures of some Graveyard Point from Oregon. This rock has lots of dendrites and plume. A fellow close by was selling 40lb boxes of this at .30 to .40 a lb. He collected it many years ago. It was cheaper to buy from him than collect it. It makes nice cabs, slabs and tumbles.

Wow Reelman!

Those GPP Agates rock! Sounds like you had a super windfall there too, I'd have taken the chaps arm off at those prices, nice bag! ;D I love the patterning and colour combinations in Graveyard Point Plume, your batch looks like you had a whole heap of fun, and dedicated tumble runs are always more satisfying to see, Mmmm I enjoyed those. Thanks for posting them.

Cheers,

Sparkles.

Really nice agates! Most that I see or get has fractures in it. These really look nice! Thanks for sharing with us! Fran

I have chunks that cost me $5 a pound and its not top notch material. The ones with dendrites remind me of Montana agates.

My uncle moved into a house in Bend, OR a while ago and had a few extra rocks laying around the yard. He sent them home with my brother, who gave them to me. 4 pounds of Graveyard Point plume agate.
