    This pin has a beautiful natural stone, but I'm not sure if it's turquoise. The colors are aqua blue, green with some brown, lots of veins. It measures 1 1/4" wide including the silver trim, and 1" high. The back is closed and is marked 925. I'm sure it's older and hope it's real turquoise! Thanks.

    Very pretty and definitely not turquoise. Wait for those that are better at identifying stones. My first guess is chrysocolla.
