Thanks All

I've tried Joey's cheek test on this bottle and a glass one, on both me (I don't have a beard) and my wife.
This bottle is definitely colder, so it both looks like (according to Peter) and feels like (according to Joey) natural rock crystal quartz. (It's good to get Peter and Joey to agree).

If it's natural rock crystal, can you tell if it's an older bottle or a modern one?

Thanks YT, I can now fully understand the title because one side clearly shows the seasonal fall of snow and the other shows the promise of a fruitful year, with blossom on the trees.
