This last trip to my Dads he blessed me with a solid, all black 5.25 x 2.5 x2.5 chunk of ebony left from a larger piece he purchased back in the 1960s. He says he thinks he paid $15 for it, and it was about twice as long. Used it for rifle stock tips and a set of grips for a friends Smith.
Its like a heavy chunk of coal its so black. Not a speck of brown in it like the "ebony" I bought and used on my 1885 winchester.
Have no idea what this would cost these days. I know some of the previously popular varieties have been banned due to over harvest, so old stock is only legal source.
