    I did Google lens them and check them with the Presidium....all stones register. Is the carved one rough jade? Is the faceted one flourite? Thanks.

    I don't see jade. Probably serpentine.
    The necklaces are pretty small in the photo, so difficult to say much. But you can test fluorite with a UV light. Fluorite fluoresces.;)

    Hopefully, these are better pictures.
    This necklace tests the highest, near/in jadeite.

    This may be fluorite, smoky quartz, other stones. Clasp is sterling.

    Dyed agate?

    Turquoise and river rock? Any idea on turquoise origin/quality/type?

    And this is the rest of the jewelry in the cigar box. I do know what it all is, there is a Stauer rough emerald necklace and bracelet set, sterling Beau earrings, turquoise, coral, copper brooch, freshwater pearls, a mixed stone necklace, malachite bangle. Lumii_20250629_164159034.jpg

    Serpentine jade can test in the same region. It is a better quality serpentine. The striations I see on some of the stones are not a feature of jade, but they do occur in serpentine.
    I would love to see it under UV light.:)
    Probably dyed jasper.
    Dyed, and my money is on Chinese, probably Hubei. Nice necklace for this time of year.

    I will put it under a UV light this evening and post a picture. Thanks for the identifications!

    Some of them look like Jasper.
    P.S. @Any Jewelry Oh! I see you already wrote about Jasper. :oops:

    The copper pin would have sold me on the lot, but I have a thing for mid-century copper. I agree that the carved beads are some form of serpentine. The red and turquoise ones are dyed coral and Chinese turquoise. I think most of those were made by a crafter. The beads and the clasps are all things I've either used or seen used.

    They did an excellent job knotting them, except for the flourite.
