Unakite Necklace?

Anyone recognize the subject of this cameo?

This cameo is very well done and has a really odd clasp--wondering which classical or mytholocigal figure is represented: And does anyone know why my photos keep showing up sideways--they are not that way in my files.

Blue topaz or aquamarine? Marcasite bracelet- marked.
