Description
Plumes are different than dendrites, which are usually more branch-like or thin, or moss which is more mossy-like. Moss, plumes, and dendrites are usually composed of iron or manganese oxides. Often moss and plume inclusions are found together in the same rock.
Stinking Water Plume aka White Plume Agate is found near the Stinking Water creek, in eastern Oregon. This area, east of Burns, is quite famous for great rockhounding. It has white to yellowish plumes in a milky white nearly transparent agate.
