Joey,

Thanks for help with the dating of the bottle.  I really like the carving on it, too.  And, I'm going to keep my eye out for a plain malachite bottle with nice markings.

Luke,
It's weird, because, I scrolled thru the auction items on Monday, and yes, they have temporarily disappeared. Not sure why?  The auction is scheduled for Sept. 11, I think.

George,
Per scratch test, it is not easily scratched, yet again confirming it to not be malachite. 

Cheers,
Rube.
