Matthew, As our good friend Duaine has posted we can't see the pic. Is a green powder? I ask because a substance called Paris Green was used for vermin protection way back when and it is EVIL! Whilst working in Dallas @ Wadley Piano we would see it on some older pianos that came through the shop. As I said the pic isn't showing so I may be off base here but if it is indeed a green powder the stuff is TOXIC !
