This is my third bottle made of this stone. The markings on each one are different. This one has a nice concave base and mouth, but it's not as well hollowed as I'd like. The wall thickness is between a quarter of an inch to a half inch thick and it does follow the contours of the bottle. I still think the bottle has some age.
Hi oldbodie - I have three like this, but it looks like I've only posted two on here. See this reference to see a similar one: https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/20309/lot/24/
Oh I do have the other one posted. It's here: http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/205976-amygdaloidal-basalt-snuff-bottle?in=all
Haha! No worries oldbodie! I am kind of a fanatic about this bottles because it's getting a little ridiculous to have three of the same kind! ;)
