I have a Citrate of Magnesia. I know this bottle is usually clear and machine made (at least the ones I have dug in the past) and not worth more than a buck or two.

I have this one though and have never seen it so crude and or this color. Anyone have info on worth??? Scarcity?

Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Hey Ba, They book for something like 40 or 50 bucks but I've seen them sell for $100. There are also dark cobalt, green and amber ones too. They are all rare finds.

Citrate bottle like that were made of a long span of time. That is a pretty early one. The earliest are pontil marked. The emerald and cobalt ones bring the best values but that one is nice and crude.

very nice color on this one. But if you have it tumbled, the color will change to a lighter shade of blue.
