Impossible to date with any accuracy

I actually did look around while waiting for the results. I did see the same designed necklace and they dated it around the 1920's to 1940's. You might be right with it being obsidian. Ill have to actually take it in for the stone to be tested.

It is very hard to date from a photo. Good plan to have black stone tested
