I can not make out the mineral either, but think Tom's crystalline quartz guess is a good one .. 

But not so sure is modern.. I think it is old, but need to search a couple books, and before I do would like to see the base. 

I completely agree with you Matthew..  Simplicity, and elegance which your bottle has.

Here is a spoon showing similar markings.. I can only assume some kind of maker mark.
