www.ebay.com/itm/372647731970 $20 delivered 1.75in x 2in x 1in thick. I should be able to get a few cabs from the piece. Butterfly wing is one of my regular searches and I haven't seen anything decent for quite a while.

Cool that you posted Butterfly Wing. It's always been one of my favorites, too.
First trip to Q that Robin and I made together I screwed up and made her mad at me. We had planned to look around before buying rough. One of the first vendors we stopped at had some Butterfly Wing.
Some of the other ladies from the club distracted Robin, and when she turned back to me she asked "What's that in your hand? You bought that, didn't you?" Busted! We still have a bit of it, and I got a pardon when the little slices turned out to super nice.

I bought some in Tucson years back. Stashed it someplace and haven't seen it since.

The BW is scheduled for delivery tomorrow. The shown face has issues and I won' know what I have until I start drawing on it.
I should be able to get 3 slices from it and I'm a huge optimist.

The piece arrived and my wife is not going to see it to prevent laughter. The piece is slightly darker than the picture and for now it will be used for entertainment. The only BW I've bought was slabbed. I'm going to grind the skin and see of the orientation is better at 90 degrees. If it is, I might get some small cabs. The face is not unattractive but doesn't look like what I want to see from BW. My wife's biggest criticism of cabbing material is too dark.
