Title: Desperate need of positive ID Post by: Aledrob13 on May 04, 2017, 08:26:04 AM I'm in desperate need of some help identifying the stone or glass in this find from the other day. It appears to be a brass/copper pendant or brooch with a clear stone of some kind. The stone is clear however gives of a red and green tinge. This was found in a Victorian/Edwardian/Georgian context going from previous finds. Would hugely appreciate any help with an ID on this.

Google Mood Stone Brooch for modern examples. Cheers Title: Re: Desperate need of positive ID Post by: Aledrob13 on May 04, 2017, 06:32:14 PM Seems a great possibility to me Neil thankyou. The only doubt I have is that they are normally tinged with blue or a solid colour.
Title: Re: Desperate need of positive ID Post by: Val Beechey on May 04, 2017, 09:42:54 PM Check out Moon Stone Colours on google. They were popular again in the 1960/70s they're spoked to change colour depending on your mood. Thence the name.
Nice find, well done. |
