Went out at 5:30 am this morning to make a long hike into a spot where i've been digging some plume agate I refer to as Jackhammer plume. Looking West to the old Carey digs. You can see them in the background were the grounds been cut. But not close to where I was headed. ![](https://res.cloudinary.com/ddsepewbu/image/upload/v1693094924/IMG_9364_virzad.jpg) What this plume looks like in the rough. ![](https://res.cloudinary.com/ddsepewbu/image/upload/v1693094936/IMG_9366_qktypa.jpg) What it looks like cut. ![](https://res.cloudinary.com/ddsepewbu/image/upload/v1693094955/IMG_9367_cwuiws.jpg) Some of it has blue moss inclusion in it. See in bottom of this piece. ![](https://res.cloudinary.com/ddsepewbu/image/upload/v1693094984/IMG_9369_hnc14m.jpg) Dont mind the spit. ![](https://res.cloudinary.com/ddsepewbu/image/upload/v1693094962/IMG_9368_wfterc.jpg) Anyways... thats all. I came out with a good amount (not pictured). Just wanted to share a piece I found and cut.

Really nice stuff! Looks like a beautiful hike. Must be tough hiking out loaded down with rock.

You know what you should do? ![(lol)](//storage.proboards.com/1258779/images/hyOivrcWsQyVjSKtYIub.gif) I wasn't doing doublets back then. I wonder if cut thin if it would make a good doublet with a white background material...
