Holy cow man, that thing is stunning!

Opal is my favorite gemstone so it follows that I love iridescent bottles. What a wonderful piece, I'd kill to get one of those! Do NOT tumble it, myself and others would likely pay a premium with the patina intact if it's for sale. How did you come across it?

I would leave it. That patina is wonderful. To remove that through tumbling would probably destroy the bottle anyway.

I wouldn't even touch that with bare hands.. what an awesome patina! Too bad it's the rarer, much more valuable variant, or else I'd be throwing you a nice offer..!!

That is a beautiful patina on that bottle don't tumble it.

Someone should start a thread for bottles with great iridescence.

This is the best looking example I can imagine because it really makes the embossing stand out and it doesn't even look real anymore, looks like a painting....Jim
