Featured Please, I need info on THIS ONE, too

I have 2 or 3 pieces I'd like to share and gain information about, but I'll split them into different threads for clarity's sake.
Here is a Sterling Silver Brooch with a bail on a sleeve over the pin, to turn it into a pendant. (I've never seen that one, before. Both of the brooches I'll be sharing have them.)
This one has 3 different stones in different shapes on the front. It is 2-1/4" long x 1-1/4" wide.
The back is signed "Bright Bear" along with "STERLING"
Via Google image search, I found an pendant that clearly has the same "Bright Bear" mark, but no other info on the maker... Elsewhere on the 'net I saw some reference that suggested a Native American/Navajo artisan, but I found no reliable confirmation of that.
Does anyone here have any info on this mark? Would you call this style?
How about the stones? It has a candy corn shaped pink stone with some lines running through it, a turquoise color ring with dark lattice, and a red coral? cab at the center.



Again, I appreciate any and all comments from the knowledgeable people here!

Yep, and as soon as I showed these to my wife, she ordered some online!

 

maybe a Rhodonite drop..... could be Afghan ....
I'm not seeing 1st Nations...

 

That's a new one for me, but looking at some pictures, I'd say Rhodonite is a pretty good candidate.

 

Ooh great info. I didn’t know they made those. Simple yet ingenious. Great news for me selling necklace/brooch combos rather than just brooches.

 

I have something vaguely similar I think may be Afghan. Makers mark sure wants to guide you towards NA though. I wonder if that coincidence or not?

 

Definitely rhodonite. The pink with black lines..bingo. It kinda-sorta wants to be NA, but the design isn't right. I also don't know of any Native smiths using rhodonite. Not that they couldn't, or don't know, but the design doesn't look right regardless.

 

Here is the only other "Bright Bear" piece I could find, and I don't see anything tribal about it: ebay item #286282781661 (Couldn't get a LINK to work!)

 

eBay no longer shares online information.................. rat bastards that they are...

 

Probably US made. Not any Afghan I know.

 

Might be Afghani rocks though. Stones travel.

 

I’m not seeing “Bright Bear” on this item. Is it just because I need more coffee? It looks like Bright Boc? Boo?

 

yup..

 

I could see it; it's just badly struck. The other piece said Bear clearly.
