Ojinaga Plume Agate – Rare Black & White Plume Agate from Chihuahua, Mexico
Ojinaga Plume Agate, also known as Noche y Día Plume Agate, is a rare and highly collectible variety of plume agate from Chihuahua, Mexico. This material is known for its dramatic contrast—featuring intricate black and white plumes suspended in a clear to semi-translucent agate matrix.
Ojinaga Plume Agate often displays traditional feathery plume formations, but in some exceptional pieces, the plumes appear as natural mountain landscapes, making it a favorite among lapidary artists, collectors, and agate enthusiasts. This is a hard, well-formed agate that takes an excellent polish, perfect for cabochons, high-end jewelry, or as display slabs.
Due to its limited availability and remote origin, Ojinaga Plume Agate is extremely rare and becoming harder to source with each passing year.
