Looks nicer than anything we found up there a few years ago. We scouted the ridge looking for anything else and I took a pretty good tumble on the way down carrying a bucket.
Good times...

Nice looking stuff plenty of everything. Color and banding slab it and polish it whole on a flat lap. The slab cab it
Sweet find

Any agate is fun to cut and polish, I would post some pictures of the stuff I have finished but unable to post pictures nor can I add any posts also have a sweet geode I recently cut. So I put this up to see if I can add to profile nothing else will.

Yes, it is a tough climb since the road was (understandably) blocked off. Beautiful area, though. Still popular because it is in all the guidebooks and maps, but chances of being skunked are high with collecting depleting even the bits that used to be found in the slopes below. Going to take an earthquake to knock down some of the undercut overburden and expose more agate. Not a frequent earthquake area, though. Would have liked to have visited back in the days when it was first being dug, but wasn't collecting back then and aware of it.

Your pic nicely shows that silicified reddish layered area from which the plumes arise. It is the same feature found in Robinson Ranch Plume and Carey Plume, though separated miles apart and a bit different in colors. Distinguishes them from other plume agates. Makes me wonder if the same conditions/volcanic events formed all three plumes?

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
