Featured Is the stone in this ring lapis? What is the maker's mark?

Hello all! I recently bought this little ring, marked 925. The person selling it said the stone was just plastic. To me it feels cold and I can see faint flecks in it. Is it lapis? Or faux lapis perhaps? Also, I can't for the life of me make out the marks (my eyes are nearly crossed looking at them through a loupe!) Anyone recognize the mark or provide any insight into possible origin? Perhaps it is an artisan piece. Thanks as always

 

I don't see lapis....

 

Thanks, quite possibly not. I'll try and get a better picture of the stone!

 

Can't get my darn phone to focus on the stone!

 

I see what u mean......but I can not confirm lapis.....as I know it...

wait for other views..

 

Dyed Random Pretty Rock, looks like. What's got my attention is the silver mark. Danish???

 

Danish? Interesting! I got it from the US so I assumed Mexican or possibly Native American but I really had no clue.

 

I agree. The blue is way off for lapiz.

 

I cannot see a Danish connection from the mark. Danish makers do not use such large marks - usually just their initials.

 

I was looking at the half-*ssed assay mark, or whatever it is. I can only half see it and it's only half there. It looks like a bunch of towers.

I see an M in a floral cartouche. (Or maybe I just want to see an M.)
Very nice Brutalist ring.

 

Mexico definitely did that type of Brutalist work but the stamping doesn’t look Mexican.

 

Thanks! I'll try and get a picture through a loupe of the stamp.

 

I can't see it being plastic but what stone it is I'm uncertain. With the inclusions, my first thought is Lapis. Perhaps ?

 

I had thought perhaps lapis but the consensus seems to be that it is a dyed stone-I know very little about stones so I bow to greater knowledge

 

Lapis does get dyed........... https://yourgemologist.com/lapislazulidyed.html

 

Elen's stone is not so different from this one:

Thanks for your input all! Here is my last photo dump, taken through a loupe this time.

 

Well, that's clear as mud! The stone is really dyed and didn't start life as lapis. Dyed lapis usually has a gray tone in the lighter spots, unless they've improved the process. I still can't read the mark, but maybe someone else knows Euro marks better.
