Dear Rube,

In order to know which kind of bottles are glass imitating realgar  or jasper, we should know what the realgar and Jasper look like.

Here pls find some photos of realgar,  I would say there is a photo with realgar with quartz is pretty much like Adrian's bottle, Maybe that one should belongs to that category.
