HUGE STONE Silver Ring! Heart skipped a beat!

So I got out this morning for the first time with the Deus, and BANG it nearly blew my ears off! about 5 inches down, this little beauty popped out! This is from a property that contained a school from the 1840's on, so I am not sure about age, but it is marked Sterling ESPO, so I am assuming it is from the 1950's or 60's and is almost certainly a Zirconia stone. Still silver and AWESOME!!!

The stone kinda looks like a smoky quartz. But I'm no expert.

I would think a quartz variety , citrine or smokey ,a more likely stone set there . I think it's circa 1950's - nice find !
