Can anyone tell me who this maker is, Is it Native ?? It is signed 925 with what appears to be SOM, it is very heavy and quite large, it weighs 5.3 ounces, it is 4 1/4" by 1 1/2" by 1" thick, i assume the stone is quartz??

Native somewhere, but not in the US. I'd be thinking Bali or Thailand with odds on Thailand.

Could be from another country like India , or Thailand , but I'm leaning towards an American new age artist ( not Native American Indian ) . You say it's very large . IT is an Amethyst Quartz traditionally used in Healing ceremonies . Smaller cabochons on top are different semi precious gemstones , one is Carnelian , but others are hard to see in the picture . Hope this helps !

I'm not seeing a Danish mark here, or anything that suggests this is Scandinavian, but I could be wrong. LOL certainly not the first time!

 

 Kenny, what source or info was cited for this being by the Svendborg & Omegns Museum (SOM)?

The mark looks the same as the one on 925.com, but we could be wrong too

I'm not seeing anything Danish either, this style is usually Indonesian or the like.  I also don't see an example of the mark, just the listing of SOM as the mark of the museum.

I agree that there is little chance that this is Scandinavian.  There is just nothing stylistically Scandinavian about it.

 

I also agree that it is likely from Indonesia, or somewhere like that.  It is a little more elaborate than some, but would fall under the quartz crystal pendant designation.  If my memory serves, they became popular in the 1980's or '90's...and were primarily decorative, but then became popular in the range of shops that sold stones for healing/tranquility, etc.
