A picture sure is worth a thousand words, eh.
 
Not sure what that black stuff is in your other picture though, unless it's really bad mold/mildew.

'Garden Beam', on the left (obviously) is a very nice looking rhizome, fresh, lush, big and healthy:

 

The other one is 'Adoregon' a poor tiny rhizome that only weights 6 grams.

 

 

I was charged 5$ for it. That makes 'Adoregon' an iris that costs 1200$ a kilo.

 

I think Keith Keppel will be proud that his irises have gone up in value!
