    Cool necklace pendant by Suzanne Williams. Definitely not saphiret, wrong time frame and I really know saphirets. Thinking this is moonstone....or??

    See two photos in different angles.

    A bit "dragon's breath with the blue flash", but wrong era for that.

    yeah i don't think butterfly wing has been used for a long old time, and i'm sure you get that yellow tinge with labradoodledorite(;):))

    I vote labradorite, the style of the piece is fairly new and I don't think butterfly wing would have been used.

    Yeah, not butterfly. The only thing is there are no striations like you sometimes see in labradorite. It's just sort of milky white/tan clear then a flash of blue. That's why I wondered if moonstone?

    A good candidate for Labradorite. Have you tried researching the artist to see if they have info on the design and stone?

    Probably labradorite. It's too new for sapphiret glass by about 50 years and it's all the wrong colors for moonstone. The speckly things show up more in labradorite than the striations ever did. She does use labradorite; I looked.
