Here are the last slabs from the set I've been running through my vibe lap. I did the prepolish on my expando and polished on rough cow leather with Holy Cow. I was very happy with the Holy Cow results. I used it mixed with distilled water in a spray bottle and kept the pad just damp. The pull was good and the polish is comparable to what I get with cerium.

White topped plume - My wife got me this piece for X-mas. It is a rare material that I don't see much. I'm not certain on the dig location, but I believe it is Oregon.

Forest Fire plume - I bought this at the Madras pow-wow two years ago. The guy told me it is packed out by mules from some remote location in Idaho. It looks very similar to Prudent Man.

Jumpin Jeep - One of my favorites now. I just scored 35 pounds of it.

Eagle Rock

Priday egg

Trent agate - This is a nice one. I spoke with the guy I get this from last week and he told me there is nothing left at the dig site. It is completely dug out.

Outstanding!!
That Forest fire and Jumpin Jeep does it for me, those are beautiful! I like the piece from Mushy with the white and green, it looks really earthy. Someone had a slab of the Trent agate on ebay and a 3 inch slice went for over $55, I figured it must be something rare!
Always a treat to see your posts!

The White Topped Plume reminds me of a hard frost in the Fall! Jumpin' Jeep is also one of my new favorites.

oh wow...those are beauts!

I also picked up some of the forest fire plume a couple of years back...did you know it came in red too?

Stoner was kind enough to make up some cabs for me out of the red & I mounted one for my daughter.

The slabs you have are REALLY nice with the additional colors.

Super slabs but I think the Forest Fire plume is actually a fine example of Prudent Man Plume. That banded area above the plume is more typical of Prudent Man. Man, that Trent is really outstanding.....Mel

Those are some fantastic slabs! My favorites are the white-topped plume and the trent agate. I'd have to agree with Mel about the Forest Fire/Prudent Man plume. I bought some Prudent Man at the Boise NFMS show a couple of years ago that looks exactly like your Forest Fire. Beautiful agate regardless of what it's called - should make some awesome cabs.

I have a little bit of the material. Beautiful stuff. Also.... that forest fire is amazing.
