    The pictures do not do this bottle justice. To really see how sparkly it is, you would have to see a video.

    It's funny that I debated buying this one. When it came I was overjoyed because it is stunning!

    Unfortunately someone had put glue on the top and so there are some gouges where they forced the top off. There was also glue on the base that I was able to remove by soaking it in fingernail polish remover and then gently scrubbing it off.

    The base is very concave. It's a small bottle, measuring just 4.2cm tall. I believe that's what you call a "lady's bottle"

      Maybe it's aventurine flecks in the glass. Lovely colour.
      What style of top would this have had?

      Hi racer4four - I think I'm going to put an orange agate top on it. I think you are right about it being an imitation of aventurine. ;)
