[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 284762, member: 85"]Well most of us are in agreement that it is probably a moonstone. Other possibilities include quartz, or glass. None of them should be affected by a good soapy wash. You just need to rinse thoroughly, other wise it may leave a residue causing it to be cloudy. As to time period, I'm not sure when tie pins went out of favor. They are still used, but tie bars are used far more often. I would think 1920/30 at the latest. Only my opinion.
