Prudent Man agate is an interesting plume material from Idaho noted for its beautiful sage colored plumes with white and green accents.  This material is sometimes referred to as "new vein" as it is a sequel to Prudent Man #1 and #2 vein.  Found in narrow vein deposits, the material is rarely found in large pieces so the slabs tend to be small but the detailed pattern and coloration make for fantastic finished pieces. 

This material has not been mined for many years and the only remaining material is "old stock" and very difficult to find.
