The 70s/80s ones mostly seem to be threaded on nylon, I wondered if this is a bit older? Sorting through the stuff I've bought to resell and then...
Thank you, I think you're right. I bought it at a fair (cheap) thinking it was glass but my gemstone tester thinks it's a stone...it's not an all...
Perhaps it's the wrong way up? I turned the photo but it's not much clearer. Could it be 930 or 950 with the top bit missing? [ATTACH]
Looking for rough age and what the stone might be made of? It's translucent. There's a mark on the pin which looks like initials and another tiny...

Yes! I have some gold sheen obsidian beads, the sheen on this is a lot more subtle though and I didn't put 2 and 2 together. I think you are right...
Yes it is cold, it also has a gold-ish sheen in places when turned in the light that I've been unable to capture in a photo, it's very subtle....
I just did tooth test, it feels kind of gritty, a bit like pearl?
Trying to figure out what this is made of, it looks very black and dense but when I hold it up to the light it's translucent and looks...
