Holy smokes! The bottle came today!!!
It's rock crystal, the bottle is old, it's 6.3cm tall, and if this is a fake it sure has me fooled!
There is glue on the base of the bottle that I am having a hard time removing so will retake that when I get it off.
I think it's rock crystal because when I turn it just right in the light there is a rainbow inclusion from the chip in the neck.
