Albino water buffaloes are not that rare here in Thailand. Probably about 5-10% of the buffaloes here are albinos. finding long horns from them is a little harder and there is a market to make herbal medicine from grinding them into a powder so the price higher than the black horns but I still sell them for about $50 a pair. Some have the black strips in them like the picture posted above and that is what was desirable in old horn bows in China from what Adam told me.

I have heard some say that they might be a bit more brittle than the black horns but not sure about that.
