Identifying a stone

I would be grateful if someone could identify this cab stone. It has a Black Onyx accent on bale. Marked 925. It feels like a real stone but looking at back , it doesn't look real. Any info would be greatly appreciated.IMG_20180330_145434.jpg

Identifying a stone

Photos can be decieving, but it appears to be Pilot mountain Turquoise. The experts are found in New Mexico, Arizona and Nevada... many can look at a stone and tell you exactly where it was mined at.

 

Even the Native Americans are now using Asian garbage for ignorant tourists, so you might look up Joe Tanner at Tanner's Indian Artifacts in Gallup, New Mexico, or one of the Museum directos, send them photos with some kind words and hope for a response.

It may be, or it may not be. It is nearly impossible to ID a stone from a photo. Take it to someone who can look at it and help you.

Are you sure the accent stone on the bale is black onyx? In the top photo, it looks to me to be a dark blue clear faceted stone.
