Frank,

I notice that your nice bottle lacks a stopper and spoon, and can be strung.
Will you add these, or just let it be natural, how you found it, letting the
agate speak for itself?  I have never heard the term botryoidal agate before, but when I look at your bottle it reminds me of bubbling caramel, and it makes me really hungry, again congrats!

Giovanni, I bought a bore light that you'd use to look inside the barrel of a gun for rust and
pitting, but it's too large for peering inside most snuff bottles.  Do you have a recommendation
for a type of light that suits this purpose?

Cheers,

Rube.
