FWIW, here are two shots of my trans Arks. From left to right and top to bottom: a special order 6" x 2" true hard (streaked translucent) from Dan's, a 5" x 2" Norton hard Arkansas, a 4-7/8" x 1-7/8" butterscotch trans Ark, and another butterscotch ~5" x ~2" trans Ark "bout" that someone gave to me. As is hopefully clear, the butterscotch stones are more yellow-brown than the other translucents. A question that comes to mind to me, which I've asked before, is whether or not the butterscotch color might be attributable to gassing in the enclosed boxes, as I note the coincidence of the boxes being significantly oiled or stained in the butterscotch examples, whereas the other ones, not in stained boxes, are whiter or greyer.
