    It reflects kind of like a star sapphire with the reflection moving when the light moves. Thanks in advance!

    Looks like a black pearl. Looks like someone has done a wire wrap job on it, so probably not a naturally (expensive) black pearl.

    That it has been drilled through twice also argues that the pearl is not of great value.

    Probably dyed Chinese freshwater "peacock" pearl.
