Can't help with the stone or glass, but is there a maker's stamp inside the screw backs? If yes, knowing the maker can sometimes help ID the...
The other tip off (although there certainly are exceptions to this) is that it has been on offer for 5 weeks with no takers at that price. I...

This was at the thrift, and not totally inexpensive: $24.99. I actually had it in my cart briefly but put it back on the shelf 2 days ago....
Moonstones in that scorpion?? :)
