One of the rarest plumes to come out of the Prineville area. Apologies for the off pics. Its kind of a difficult material to photograph. Pics dont do justice as it takes one hell of a high gloss polish.

I bought a big chunk of "Powell Butte" once. It was absolutely nothing like what you've just shown us here.

What did it look like, if you don’t mind me asking? Was it more of a moss material?

Good to know the chunk we got was probably Powell Butte after all. I would've been annoyed if we had paid a lot for it... .
