Answers.Text: Yeah, I was supposed to say the same. This is must be the origin of the part and how it ended in the same bag as the flask. Somekind of premold and inner piece for the flask since both even have the center hole in them, that would also explain why it has a mould number but no element number. Pretty cool since this must be crazy rare because in all of my 20 years of legos have I ever seen such occur on my sets!

Answers.Text: Same here, market for these kind of occurrences are probably very slim so the pricing most likely is what the seller asks for so in other words priceless, only this time quite literally :)

  (Asked by: username_0 on 2021-03-13)
  
  I bought a [71043-1](https://brickset.com/sets/71043-1/Hogwarts-Castle) and one of the extra parts is this trans-purple "cone" with the smaller through-hole, which couldn't identify since there is no element number, only the mould number which is 05-B01.
  
  Here's a picture, (normal stud as a comparison) - please help me identify or give an element number for this!

  It looks like a "short shot" of [Minifigure, Utensil Bottle, Erlenmeyer Flask with Trans-Purple Fluid Pattern](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=93549pb02&idColor=12#T=C&C=12) (pictured below) which is included in the set. I would even say it lacks the Trans-clear "coating" around Trans-Purple piece of the combined element.
