Description
~ Feather Ridge plume agate cab ~

Offered here is a cabochon cut from Feather Ridge plume agate, which was recently mined in Oregon. This stone is jam-packed with plume figures in pleasing shades of coral pink, pastel peach, and butterscotch yellow. I'm pretty sure this particular example is opalized. The coloration is strongly reminiscent of grand old regency rose plume agate from Graveyard Point, which I read is only about 10 miles away, comparing very well to the best I've seen in many years. This plume agate ought to look splendid set in silver, but I think the contrasting richness of gold would be especially tasty. Try it, you'll love it! This cab has a nicely rounded dome of 5.5mm, a designer 'catseye' shape, and a fine glassy polish both front and back.

Size: 54x26mm
Weight: approximately 50 carats
