Yep, Looks like one of the Graveyard Point Plume Agate variants. When I was last up there, I found a similar piece on the tailings of one of the digs. I suspect iron oxide has impregnated and stained the normally whiter plume to the more red orange tones.....Mel

Thanks for the ID Mel. I had no idea where it might be from other than Oregon or Idaho. Bob
