The article isn't saying that all of these bottles are clear and not aqua, they were only describing that one specific bottle in their pictures. I like your bottle more though!

That's not true, NO GLASS turns aqua, blue or green when exposed to sunlight.

'Think you meant glass containing manganese turning purple/amethyst, BIGSCOTT! And then some more modern glass containing selenium can turn to a tan kind of colour if it gets enough light. Iron impurities in the source sand is where you get the aqua colours, and the manganese/selenium was added to help achieve clarity.
