The snuff bottle is made of a turquoise color pebble that has the colors of blue, blue green, black and brown. The stone is called Chrysocolla. It is rather brittle, as seen from flaw shown from the third from the last photo. It has a rather dull luster The rust brown is a result of chrysocolla being a minor ore of copper. The bottle has a flattened globular form with sloping shoulders and a raised oval food. It is matched with a glass stopper encased in brass and a brass spoon.
Collectors of stone bottles might appreciate as I did for the natural graining of the stone. It is what it is without pretentions.
