I am not sure about this cab I finished a couple of days ago. Is this Regency plume agate? Thanks for your help, Christopher

I'm not sure, but it sure could be. I'm not usually a sucker for hearts, but that is a very nice one...

Thank you everyone for your comments. I am still not sure what it is though.
Ed,
I do everything on my Genie or Pixie. I use a diamond burr in my flex-shaft to clean up the center in the initial shaping stage...sometimes.

Having just purchases some Regency Rose from an estate sell, I am more then willing to bet that it is indeed Regency Rose found very near the Graveyard Plume agate area in Eastern Oregon.

If Im not positive about a trade name, I skip it. Regency and Graveyard Point are so close together. Myself, I would just call it plume agate.
