More black than pink but still looks similar. I swear I have so many messages I can't keep up with who has what anymore. Very good looking material btw!!!

Still could be from there though because my one nice slab may not be some of the best from there. Jim

It is from Butte Montana. Jim

I don't know I haven't worked any of it yet. Plugs can be made out of any material from the softest soapstone to opals all the way to pet woods, shares, etc.
