For you plume agate fanatics out there, what are your favorite types of plume? For me I’d say,
1. Powellbutte plume
2. Carey plume
3. Eagle rock plume
Bonus would be most any graveyard point plume.

I love them all, but for color I love Wingate Plume Agate.

 Powellbutte Plume. This is probably the rarest plume to come out of central Oregon. |

I personnally can't think of one I don't like, and all of the above would be on my list, but some of the West Texas Plumes, Bouquets and Flower Garden agates are just out of this world.
How about:
Woodward/Walker Ranch red plume
Singleton Ranch plumes and Bouquet
Falcon Lake
For Oregon:
Graveyard Point and
Bella Vista, Feather Ridge, Regency Rose
Stinkingwater
Priday for sure
Mexico:
Sonora Plume
any number of Chihuahua Ranch locations
and of course, in my own backyard, Southern California's Cady Mountains, several locations there.
I'll check my cab cases and probably be reminded of ones I've forgotten. Maybe list a couple more later.
I have a collection on Pinterest with over 1000 cabs pictured, not all plume. From people all over the world. Some crazy good ones in there, though.

LOL Jason they are kinda like Pokémon: gotta catch them all! I know the feeling. I have an unhealthy obsession with plume agate. I've dug deposits of new material, that i've only shared with one or two others. Here is some stuff thats actually more of a jasper plume. Dug this material not too long ago. Right outside of Prineville.     |
