    This bottle is large - 7cm high - and it's extremely well hollowed. I mean like almost paper thin hollowed - I would guess the wall thickness is anywhere from an eighth of an inch to maybe even a sixteenth! The thin walls really let the light come through and I need to post a back lit photo!

    I haven't tried to float it yet because it seemed like the neck was too heavy, but still need to try.

    Moss agate is agate with mosslike dendritic inclusions. The one has beautiful patterns and some lovely yellow and blue inclusions.

    The top is equally impressive. I'm not sure what it's made of but it appears to be stone.
