Powell Butte Plume Agate Slab - Black and White Plume in Blue Agate - Ultra Rare Oregon Classic
This very rare slab of Powell Butte Plume Agate displays well-defined black plume alongside white plume set in a beautiful blue agate matrix. Some druzy pockets add natural character that could make a nice effect in finished pieces. The plume definition on this slab is something that is extremely hard to find today, with this material having not been dug for over 30 years. The darker plume is somewhat reminiscent of the even rarer Amity Plume Agate, though the matrix leans more toward Powell Butte origin. This slab is thick cut at nearly 10mm.
