First the questions. I'm not too good with agate names. I lost all my files and notes, so I don't know what these are: 1)
 2)
3)
Now some other misc stuff.
Large Hell's Canyon pet sequoia
sonora, of course 
peanut wood 
brenda agate with a bunch of druzy and 2 inside curves  
sagenite probably from Mexico? 
peanut obsidian 
BC ocean picture jasper or some other name 
Gem Owyhee jasper Nice blue 
One of my new favorite materials- red jasper in quartz from down under 
a little piece of bone 
Thanks for looking and I hope you can help with the plumes.  |

I love the Brenda. What do you mean by inside curves. Are the sides sloped inwards? Gonna see if you listed it yet. Amazing!

rockjunquie I had to dig it out of my brain, but those first plumes could be Regency Rose perhaps?

I didn't post any moss. I think you meant plume. Thanks! |

rockjunquie I had to dig it out of my brain, but those first plumes could be Regency Rose perhaps? I was thinking that, too. That damn HD crash is really killing me. I really relied on my notes. I had saved every description of every slab and cab over the last almost 20 years. That hurt! Usually, it would be an easy matter to find it my file. But.... anyway, yes, I was thinking that, too. There is another one that I have been wracking my brain over from the same general area, too. It's on the tip of my tongue. Argh! |

Sweet cabs, Tela! Those peanuts are awesome! I had a little piece of this put away with the jet black background. I rarely ever see it. A really good client requested a pendant... and then I had to find the damn thing. I put it somewhere safe. LOL! |

My computer is old and rickety, so I email all my important stuff to myself every time I update it. Keeps me from worrying and printing everything. |

Just saw these, and wow!
Beautiful...
I struggle with agates also. That's pretty much all I collect, agate and jasper.
I think I can help with the names on those, however.
#1 is Amazing, #2 is Spectacular, and #3 is Fantastic.
I could be of on #1, though. It could be called Exceptional.
Great work, Tela!

Graveyard Point and Regency Rose are right near each other I believe. |

In fact, I was reading that they are basically from the same place, just named differently because of the bad rap that a lot of subpar GYP gave the material.
Got my books out last night and also visited Agate with Inclusions online to try to place the white and red marquise #2. I want to say Paisley agate, but I doubt it. It's really nice in person.

Nice set of cabs I do think you've nailed it close enough with 1 and 3. I was scrolling down fast to type in Graveyard Point/Regency Rose claim and Nyssa (based on the dirty pinkish plumes in almost opaque whiteness) but y'all beat me to it. #2 is tougher because of the small pattern capture - it could literally be from many locations in the west. N.Cady's and Paul Bunyan agate came immediately to mind based on the red plumes inside a blueish agate - but honestly it could be from anywhere many places including Mexico - crazylace etc. If you have more of it left on the slab maybe post that so we can see. |
