We are off for a week in search of the Plush Diamond.

The Plush diamond is a semi-precious stone that is found near the town of Plush in eastern Oregon. They are the Oregon state stone and sometimes called Sunstones. They are beautiful clear stones that can be cut and faceted and look like a diamond when finished. They can have red, orange or pink in them. There is a free collecting site on the BLM land there and my friend says you just pick them up between the sagebrush! More photos when we return.

Thanks for listening....
