    This little bottle grows on me more and more. I didn't pay very much for it and so thought it would be a very cheap bottle. But it's well hollowed in a nice triangular shape, the carvings on the sides kind of look like alligators and are well done giving you a way to firmly grip the bottle, the top I believe is yellow jade, and it's just a very holdable bottle (if that's a word!) haha!

    Once I started looking it up, yellow cat's eye (a.k.a. chrysoberyl or cymophane) is not that common, and not inexpensive either!

    Dating it is the hard thing!
