Carey Plume Agate was discovered by Shirley Quant decades ago and became an Oregon classic due to its bright red plume and well-defined moss agate characteristics. The material hasn't been mined in over 20 years, making it a rare Oregon plume variety sought by collectors. It takes a quality polish and was a favorite for cabbing among vintage rockhounds.
