I do love the patina on this one as it is very even over the surface. I think it actually adds to the appeal of the bottle.This is an example of one I would never tumble. It is amazingly opalescent. My opinion, but others might agree.

Just for basic info, some collectors specialize in collecting iridescent glass, also called “Benicia”. Here’s a link to more detailed info.

I see bottles go for more than they are worth all because of the Benicia iridescence. Thanks for the correct term used for this condition.A nice iridescence/rainbow adds value in my mind. I can't stop thinking about how beautiful and freaking cool it can make a bottle look. I for sure would pay more for a mint bottle with a sexy rainbow iridescence then a tumbled perfect bottle. Tumbling is definitely situational to me.
