Lordsburg(?) Plume Agates
Near Lordsburg, New Mexico(?)
   I know nothing about those Plume agates. I found a tin can of roughs from deceased Peter Ghitney's estate and it had a label of "Lordsburg Agates" on it. There were some reports of plume agates somewhere southeast of Lordsburg, but I haven't been able to verify that information. They appear to be a kind of seam nodules with rows of plume inclusions. The plumes come in red, orange, yellow, and brown colors. That's it. It's possible that that they were bought from a Lordsburg Rock shop that got some from a plume agate mine at Bloody Basin of Arizona (north of Carefree) or Mexico.
