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.

Looks like a Victorian mood stone brooch to me. You can still buy similar ones today. Nice find.

Google Mood Stone Brooch for modern examples.

Cheers

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.

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.
