Took a chance on this turquoise bottle..

Have seen this one around off and on for some time now on eBay.

I can not figure out why there is such a variety of different turquoise in this..  Also can not understand why someone would use a black marker around the perimeter of the different turquose..  I think can remove that if I decide to keep it..  If it turns out to be resin pressed, will be sending it back...

2 3/4" tall..

From the pictures it looks like porcelain imitating turquoise or it could a mass of turquoise chips glued together...

I am familiar with the many different copper/turquoise pressed resin type material..  Comes in purple, green, and blue, but have never seen a composite, or resin pressed that like looks like this bottle..
