Bella Vista is reminiscent of Feather Ridge or Regency Rose Agates from the Graveyard Point collecting area.  It is defined by elongated lacey pink, white, and yellow plumes suspended in a translucent agate matrix, often showcasing tiny druzy pockets.  Although the druzy pockets are marked as flaws, they are an integral part of the stone and can easily be incorporated into a lovely, finished piece. This plume agate was a popular new introduction at the 2023 Quartzsite rock and gem shows.
