Posted By: Amarsanaa Thu, Jul 17, 2014 IP: 202.179.20.229 Hello dear members, I am snuff bottle collector from Mongolia. Here is one I made for myself lately. Burmese mawsitsit and its pretty large, 10 centimeters tall. |

Posted By: Stan Fri, Jul 18, 2014 10 cm (~4 inches) is large for a snuff bottle. It would be (exactly) like walking around with a large rock in your pocket. How much does it weigh? |

Posted By: amarsanaa Sat, Jul 19, 2014 Yeah its pretty large, around 250 grams. Here is another one I had made, its 172 grams. |

Posted By: Adam Fri, Jul 18, 2014 Nice work, i know from experience how hard it is to work stone (I used to have a serious opal fetish and used to cab my own from rough) |

Posted By: amarsanaa Sat, Jul 19, 2014 yeah, especially for a snuff bottle, must have no cracks, so its hard to find such perfect stones in the nature |
