    This is a Victorian feldspar or unpolished moonstone drop bead necklace with gold findings. Stumbled across this on Ebay. I have never seen one
    in this stone. Mostly brooches and the Niagara barrel charms. It is circa
    mid 1800's to late 1800's - early 1900's. Don't know where these were made.

      Feldspar seems to be called too satin spar, some is mined in Niagara area!
      This explains the many barrel shaped charms encountered :-)

      Read description for satin spar aka feldspar here:

      Yes, I wondered about that if possibly it was a local stone.
      Thanks for sharing.
