    2" pendant

    I assume this is turquoise but maybe it's something else?

    The metal and its verdigris look like they have some age to them.

    Thanks for any and all comments!

    A huge pendant, and it looks like turquoise to me.
    Hubei in China has different types of turquoise, also one that looks like this. I'm not saying it is definitely Hubei turquoise, but the way it is mounted is also done a lot in China.

    What she said. It's not American-set for sure. A Native or good shed smith would have used a lot more silver to protect the stone. Turquoise breaks easily.
