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: 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)
