    GaleriaGila Hola, y'all!

    images.jpg I still bet it's agate, though. I Googled gray lace agate oval bead and saw some likely candidates. Yours is obviously bigger than a bead, but I just used that to get the shape...

    Edit
    Woops, yours is round, but... ya get the idea. :)

    Yo!

    I think the gray with the silver is a really nice combination.

    It could be stone but there are glass beads that look like stone, too. Sometimes looking at the edges around the hole can help... glass is more likely to have even edges while stone sometimes looks less even. But that's not always reliable with either type of bead.

    I cannot see the edges.
    I know it is very old, marble feels heavy and cold colder than metal around it.

    Good thought, Pat. If you can shine a light from behind it, and if you see bubbles.... glass! Absence of bubbles doesn't ensure stone, but it might help, right Pat?

    I've put it against the light, but cannot see bubbles.
    It looks all muddy inside
