Spent some time with a dealer at the Rice museum show yesterday trying to help ID some stuff he had from an estate. This one stumps me, typical plume like maybe stinking water or Nydegger Ranch, but with that peaked wing like stuff on top. Thought maybe half a seam of something? woodmanroyTommycatmandewe

I would suspect Stinkingwater. Though it can be less feathery on top, I have seen Stinkingwater with finer angelwing similar to the piece photo'd.

I would also say most probable Stinkingwater area, possibly also Warm Springs area, there is a bunch of stuff out there that changes every hundred yards.

Sorry I am not much help Lee other than to echo the experts that typically pure white plumes are equated with Stinkingwater creek. BUT... there are other sources of pure white plume agate. Last year at a gem show I had a long talk with a fellow who was selling some big slabs of agate with beautiful pure white plumes. He and his daughter insisted they had collected it in the Black Rock Desert, Nevada. I bought one slab but I never got to see the rough to know if it had angel wings or not. This is the one cab I made when I first cut the slab up. The rest of the preforms have gotten lost in my "GYP misc." drawer.

I'd say Stinking water too. I have an example of the white northern Nevada plume in my collection and the plumes are not as fluffy in mine, but it is only one example too.....Mel
