    The rock that this snuff bottle was made from is unusual to me. It appears to have bands of chrysoberyl. I'm not sure what to call it!

    It's understated. You have to turn it to the light to see the bands because they are subtle.

    It's well hollowed.

      I can see what you mean. Those would be some impressive colours in the right angled light.
