<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 2148429, member: 36"]My guess is that's real tortoise shell (dagnabbit!) and Larimar (I typed labradorite first and edited second because that is NOT the word I was thinking) . It's a combination that's often used in the Dominican Republic, where tortoiseshell items were still legal up until about 15 years ago. The stone is mined in the Dominican, and generally set in silver. Odds are some smith in the Republic made that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
