[size=large]If you look close at the "S" clasps ( in both necklaces ) they are the same
Typical of Asian jewelry
Note how the "S" clasp is bent ...Very soft..

Also, can anyone Identify the large blue stone in the pendant [/size]​

I would say the Buda Pendant comes from Thailand, and if you shake it you might hear a small stone within the pendant if it's not solid.

Congrat's on all that Loot! Very Nice looking assortment of Gold you found this time out! Keep them great finds comin' and Good Luck and HH on your next outing!

Probably didn't spell it right but Cabochon is the type of cut, that nice domed or rounded cut. Not faceted like a diamond.
Great , great stuff as always.

Awesome finds, that 24k chain has me drooling. Big honker stones too it doesn't get any better than that congrats!

 

[kaptainkosmic]

if so hold onto it, rumor is the tangenite mine is drying up and the price is going to skyrocket. stone could surpass the price on the gold significantly!!

No matter what its a really really nice find!

You are consistent in your persistence, as well sir. Love the 24K stuff! Seems like you exceeded 100 (gold rings only) (not counting all gold pieces) last year, as well. Hope that lake does not fill up anytime soon! I am fixin' to post some morsels too, been 3 nights straight! WTG, ya looter! OBTW, love the peek-a-boo shot of the necklace, in ground and nice nut too!
