Description

Noted for its striking red plumes, Carey Plume Agate is regarded as an ‘extinct’ agate, as the mine was depleted numerous years ago. Due to its exceptional aesthetic appeal, polish, and rarity, Carey Plume Agate is highly valued by both lapidaries and collectors. This exceptional agate originated from the Carey Ranch near Prineville, Oregon after the Carey family opened the location to public digs in 1952.
