About Red Plume Agate
Plume agate forms in hot springs, and is made of clays, metals, and minerals. The plume-like patterns are created by microscopic organisms that collect silica and other particles from the hot springs and deposit them in the stone; these components can lead to flowering plumes representing any color of the rainbow.
