If I had decent pictures of it I'd upload them, but I don't yet. I'll try to tomorrow. Very white with high polish, no big ugly brown pores at the ends. Not quite the glow of good ivory, but very nice indeed, and better than a lot of the dull-finish ivory I've seen sold as scales. The rave reviews of Koraats on this forum are no joke, he does very nice work, this was my first Koraat. Pretty much all of the same advantages as ivory in terms of tradition and beauty when they are done to Koraat's level, I see no downside.
