Victorian. Ginormous - 2 1/8" long including ring at top! 9ct (hallmarked), c. 1870, Scottish Victorian souvenir. Fancy cut Cairngorm, which is the name given to a citrine quartz variety with an amber or brown color traditionally mined in the Cairngorm Mountains in Scotland. During the Victorian period, cairngorms were extensively used in traditional Scottish jewelry. Local lapidaries in Edinburgh were skilled in cutting and faceting the gems to produce stones of a rich, brilliant orange color that were much esteemed and desired. Large-sized cairngorms were particularly prized and often handed down through families. DAYUM.
