Turquoise snuff bottles often acquire a greenish hue over time due to the absorption of oils from handling. While predominantly green, variations in colour exist, with Persian and North American specimens exhibiting bluer tones. Referred to as lüsongshi ('green pine stone') by the Qing Chinese, turquoise was prized in both green and blue forms. Porcelain imitations of turquoise further attest to the stone's dual colour usage and value.

For additional examples of early natural pebble-form turquoise bottles, notable references include publications by Sydney L. Moss Ltd (1965, no. 96), Curtis (1982, no. 36), Moss (1977, p. 11, no. 7).
