🌿 Carey Plume Agate – 🔥 Rare Oregon Trimmer with Red Moss & Rhyolite Skin 🇺🇸
This beautiful trimmer of Carey Plume Agate showcases vivid red moss with signs of potential plumes developing inside. It’s naturally encased in calcium rind and features a bit of red rhyolite matrix, which is often found attached to classic Carey pieces.
Carey Plume Agate is an old Oregon favorite, originally discovered by Shirley Quant decades ago. Known for its fiery red plume structures and defined moss formations, it quickly became a staple among agate collectors and cabbers. This material has not been mined in over 20 years, making any remaining rough or slabs highly collectible and increasingly rare.
This piece is an excellent candidate for trimming down into cabs or simply adding to a high-end old stock collection.

Photo Disclaimer
I strive to provide accurate, unedited photos that represent each stone as naturally as possible. Most stones are photographed wet to simulate their polished appearance. While I do not use filters or enhancements, please be aware that screen brightness and settings may slightly alter the color you see. If a face has been cut, the final image is usually taken dry to help reveal natural surface characteristics like pits or fractures.
Natural Stone & Fossil Disclaimer
All of the stones and fossils offered here are natural materials formed over millions of years through geological and organic processes. As a result, it is completely normal for them to exhibit natural fractures, pits, inclusions, voids, and other surface or internal features that reflect their ancient origins.
These characteristics are not flaws—they are part of what makes each piece unique. We encourage you to review all product photos carefully and research the properties of each material before purchasing to ensure it meets your expectations.
