The flask is made from heliotrope, a green mineral also known as 'bloodstone' because it has dark red specks. The rim and stopper are made from 14k yellow gold, which is engraved with a flower pattern. The top of the stopper is decorated with filigree, and is attached to the rim with a little chain, ensuring it won't get lost.
