Indian Mexican artifacts ??

[Vodka1000]

Hello,
I bought this at the garage sale from an old lady (about 70 years old) it is a silver cross Indian Mexican artifacts. Per her info this use to belong to her mother and it is about 100+ years old.
Size 2.5 long X 1.25 wide – about ½ oz. I can’t see any markings but jeweler said it is pure silver.
Any feedback and approx value of it will be appreciated. Please see the pictures

I found something similar to it without the chain.

Unfortunately with no visible markings and un-attributable to any known artist or silversmith, it's not worth much more than the turquoise and it's melt value for the silver.
Old doesn't necessarily mean valuable but it usually means prettier and better quality.

The deep blue color of the turquoise with no matrix leads me to believe it is "Sleeping Beauty" turquoise.
