Nice bottle Frank..

Not so sure the botryoidal pattern is as unusual as it may seem.. With the exception of the banding showing, which I have not seen together with botryoidal examples, it seems pretty common as botryoidal agate goes..

You mention being very well hollowed.  Are the walls thinner through out the body than that around the neck ?

It looks fairly modern to me... But indeed a very pretty example of botryoidal agate carved snuff bottle..

Congratulations !
