    Know these are not antique. Most of my 'costume' jewelry in marked Mexico 925. I have no idea what the stones/rocks are. There is a shadow on the bottom of the grey pendant. The grey bracelet/earrings may be moonstones?
    Thanks for your expert help.

    First one is Labradorite.

    Edit:
    Second one might be dyed pink agate?

    Yep - labradorite and rhodochrosite. The latter has become more popular recently. You'll sometimes see the first one's white version misidentified as "rainbow moonstone". Yours looks to be decent quality stone with lots of color play.

    The black in with the pink made me wonder if the second stone could be rhodonite, but that radiating ripple formation takes me back to rhodochrosite.

    Thank you so much. I'm glad you are here to help those of us less educated. I'm going to be listing an Italian parure.
    Thanks again. Patd
