Stinking Water plume agate cab ~
Offered here is a unique cabochon of white plume agate, from Stinking Water Pass, Oregon. This old stock material is anything but run-of-the-mill, and getting harder to come by all the time, particularly in this solidly above average calibre. I often make these into doublets, adding a thin black basenite backing for contrast, but this stone didn't need that at all! It has a fascinating pattern of ornate plumes in snow white and old ivory, suspended in a background of smokey translucent agate. The pictures don't reveal it well, but the translucent areas have a slightly opalescent quality, and many of the plumes have clear halos and faint fortifications surrounding them. The stone has a nicely rounded dome of 6mm, a gracefully fluid designer shape, and a glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 48x18mm
Weight: approximately 40 carats
