So this has been sitting on my desk for some time now, and I'm am clueless as to the type of stone-any ideas.
Also age???
Thanks to all that take the time to look/reply

it looks like a Victorian era agate brooch.
Tube hinge, c-clasp, braided frame all look to be Victorian. Possibly gold filled at one point. Agate was pretty popular during Victoria's reign.
That saud, cant say for sure its not an art glass since we dont have it in hand.. The chip at the corner may help too, tho agate and glass both fracture similarly. Bubbles may indicate glass

Hi Clea,
I'm not seeing any bubbles, so I'm pretty sure it's stone. It;'s a shame about the fracture in the corner
Off to search Victorian agate brooch 🙂
Thanks for the direction!

Thanks for the compliments-I love the pics with the sun shinning thru the stone.
Sometimes I impress myself with my pics
