Opalized Fluorite? Intense Purple Stone in a modernist bracelet

Sadly the bracelet is not marked at all. A maker could have given a hint about what stone is used here. The deep purple stones have sparkly, textured interiors! Anyone know what stones they are? Can't upload images. I must be doing something wrong...

 

Copy and paste your photos -- seems to work well.

 

That works! Thanks! An image of the entire piece:

 

Are the purple insets glass or plastic? From the style I would think c. 1970s, but I dunno for sure.

 

Oops, I see that you think it's a stone. Well, I certainly dunno about that, LOL! From the pix it looks like foil-backed glass, but wait for others to chime in.

 

Glass for me too. The toggle looks newer but the metal screams 70s.

 

The stones look like glued in glass.

 

I think foiled glass

 

Hi Marie....

 

I guess my images are bad. The purple pieces are definitely not glass. Under magnification I can see the irregularities and inclusions, but I guess this is not showing up on my images. On the corner of the stone little hints of the sparkly opal-effect show up in the images. I need to clean the piece, and some polish shows on the edges of the stones. I'll clean it and post new images. The piece is definitely Mid-Century modern from the 1960's to 1980's. I love the look of some of the modernist pieces! (They sell well, too!)

 

The stone is eudialite, it is found in Russia and Canada,this one looks Russian

 

Here are pics of eudilite...I still think yours is glass? Maybe its just the pics?

Hey Shiloh! I can't believe it's been 3 weeks since I last checked in here

 

Those look like foil-back crackle-glass cabochons to me, maybe Czech or German, circa 1960s - as a kid back then, I thought they were so beautiful (still think they're pretty)...
