Strontium

[frozenmonkeyface]

I bought this because I liked the embossing. I can't find any info on it though. I am sure its probably some common bottle and I am just typing in the wrong thing or something... Sorry if that's the case but I tried to find it.....

It reads:

Strontium
Taraf-Javal
Taria

I think anyway, I tried swapping the Ts for Js because I couldn't really tell which was which... but here it is. []

Never seen one before, but I would guess that it contained the concentrated evaporates from mineral spring water. Looks Spanish so perhaps a spring in Spain. Not much of a leap to assume it was a spring rich in strontium salts (strontia) which do offer health benefits. The dried mineral blend would be reconstituted and consumed the same as fresh water from the spring.

Could be a number of things but I'd place my money on mineral spring salts. Would be nice to know what the other words are.

Its so hard to tell on some of these bottles because the font is so odd. I like it, but its hard to read sometimes. Thank you for your help! =)

Neat piece. Good thing it doesn't say Strontium-90!

 

[frozenmonkeyface]

why is that?

For the same reason it's good that it doesn't say Uranium-235. []
