Got a nice signed native American cuff bracelet. Trying to figure out what stone it is. I think its lapis lazuli, but I'd like some other opinions. Also, its signed BRYAN, I haven't figured out which Bryan it is. I know it isn't Bryan Tom, but that's about it.

It appears to be Lapis from the photo.
It does not appear to be Turquiose.
Best of luck!
 
Looks like Lapis and $125 to me.
 
one thing I can say it is not Turquoise, that would be a robin's egg blue.

It could be Lapis Lazuli or Sodalite. your photo could pass for either one.
 
Thanks for all the input, I'll just list it as sodalite and sterling, unless anyone else think its lapis. I can't streak test it.
 
FYI...Actually turquois ranges from a almost milky white (China) thru lite to dark blues and greens...and sometimes is used in conjunction with a native dark matrix from which its mined...
