Priday Plume

Priday Plume Thunder Egg Agate

“Priday” or “Plume Agate” is a very rare agate found many years ago on the Priday ranch outside Madras Oregon. Long gone are the digging opportunity’s for this agate found in thunder eggs. You will find moss with rich browns patterns and in some cases plume patterns which become more valuable all laced within a beautiful agate matrix.

It is said to be rare to find a plume pattern from thunder eggs and some say you can find the plumes if you cut the stones on the flat side “butt” by shaving off the end rather than finding it in the middle of the stone. The “red beds” seem to be even more rare from the Priday ranch but we have seen more of the “blue beds” material which has been more abundant.

With the rarity of the stone and the beauty of the colors make these cabochons and jewelry all the more valuable. We have selective reserves of fine pieces which we will be adding to our store as we have cabochons, fine jewelry for you to choose from.
