    Hi. This bracelet has been safely stored in my family home for many years. I would love to know any and all information about it. Such as, age, is it Navaho, what type of stone, value, etc. I cannot see any definitive identifying Bracelet cuff top.jpg Bracelet cuff .jpg Bracelet cuff side.jpg markings; there are some possible markings inside but not sure whether they may just be imperfections in the silver. When measured across at widest point, it is approx. 2 1/8 inches. Would appreciate any feedback. Thank you!

    it looks Navajo at first....... but upon closer inspection there are too many red flags for me agree with that..

    it looks like a casting......so not handworked..

    Or part cast and part hand stamped.

    Variscite for sure. I'm not smelling Navajo here, but somebody made it. It's not a factory piece, more like what our British contingent would call shed work.
