Is that "generic" plume agate, or maybe Graveyard PT? Is plume agate found in a lot of different locations?

I have a slab that came from the swap meet a couple weeks ago. Bought the slab, a chunk of Jade (pretty sure), and a dark piece of crystaline quartz that has various surfaces and textures.

Have already taken pics of all three of them, will try to post them soon. Maybe you can tell me if the plume is GYP.

I think it is stinking water plume tho. do not think it is grave yard plume, too much white for that. there a re others.

Wow, the white plume really complements the carnelian, and vice versa! Now, how to combine them in a jewel?

I did a cab out of the white plume a few years ago and set it in a 14K mount, It looked great but gave it away before I took a photo of it.

Eagle Rock Plume, about the size of a

softball. Be interesting to cut it but don't think I have trhe heart. Will keep it as a specimen. it does have one cut face on it that I should polish one of these days,

Eagle Rock Plume

Nice piece, and a good illustration of how Eagle Rock Plume can look a lot like Carey Plume (and Robinson Ranch Plume) at first glance. They all share that jaspery red host rock, though the plumes and angel wing surfaces differ. Same area, and all 3 must have formed about the same time. Eagle Rock has the most variety of the 3 - but it will take some sort of seismic event to knock down some of the overburden there to expose more.
