<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 104935, member: 44"]I can't help on IDing the stone, but agree with OBB that it might be an amethyst. I found a few similar silver filigree crosses made in Lebanon that have very similar filigree. The seller of one of them claims the stone is an amethyst. Your cross is a Jerusalum cross AKA a Crusader's Cross with the small crosses in the angles. The following crosses are more of less Jerusalum crosses, but with a longer vertical (upright) - the stipes.</p><p><br /></p><p>This one has a blue stone with almost if not the same design filigree.
