<p>[QUOTE="Lizzie, post: 4503193, member: 2027"][ATTACH=full]394293[/ATTACH] This piece is terribly dirty and I want to clean it up. But before I do anything, I want to identify the stone. It tests way beyond the glass range but does not match any of the colors in the categories the gem tester shows. My best guess after much research is that it is polished marble. Could that be it? Also, where is it from or what style do you think it is? It looks like the stone was set by hand because the setting is uneven. The trim around the setting gives me thefeeling of Middle Eastern origin. It seems too heavy for the fine chain but at the same time the chain looks original. It is 2" wide and 2 1/2" long. The connector between the chain and the jump ring looks like (under a loupe) T O S A, if that's any help. Thank you for any opinions or suggestions</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]394291[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]394292[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]394292[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
