Condition Notes: Blue calcite like this likely originates from Argentina, displaying a slightly more saturated blue compared to sources such as Brazil. It is sometimes marketed under the trade name 'Argentinian Aquatine Calcite,' though gemologically, it remains a form of massive calcite and can be classified as onyx marble when banding is present. The clasp is marked for K. Keyes and stamped 18k. The blue calcite beads measure 11.93 mm to 12.09 mm
