[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 238804, member: 85"]I suspect your friend is correct. Persian turquoise, rubies and as Marie said, moonstone. Late 1800s Is it gold color or silver? Needs a good wash. Use an old soft toothbrush and one of the following: sudsy dish washing detergent, toothpaste, or hydrogen peroxide. Not all of those - just pick one and try it. Be sure to rinse well. If silver, use the soft tooth brush with liquid silver polish and then the sudsy dish washing detergent. Rinse well. And as Marie said, you need to have it looked at to confirm.[/QUOTE]
