    It looks like a jet stone and marcasite silver pendant, popular in the 20's and 30's, .

    Had it up on another forum too agreement on the marcasite but other posters have said that the main stone is hematite , I had thought it was from that era because of the Art Deco style

    I think you may be correct, on a second viewing of the pictures the stone appears to be silvery black, which would indicate it may be hematite.
