Title: what type of plume?
Post by: lithicbeads on January 13, 2018, 12:08:34 PM

I posted this years ago in beads and pendants but I've forgotten what the rough is.  Its from California, I believe.
Thanks

Hey Frank,

I went back in the archives and found your post on this one.  It was in December, 2013.  The rough was from Casey Haderly and you made this pendant and a Guatemalan dendritic jadeite pendant for him.  Your description was mystery plume, so I think you didn't know where Casey got it from back then, either.

I have collected in Horse Canyon for about 9 years and it doesn't look like Horse to me.  I have found a very similar plume in the North Cady Mountains however.
Instead of trying to look through my rough I just looked online and found some North Cady Plume that Adam Dean was selling on Ebay. I could only take a screen shot.

If I did look through my material it would look the same as yours also, it's just buried at the moment.

Looks like Prueheart Plume Agate from Idaho. From same area as Prudent Man Plume agate.
