Wow! You sure have come up with some great stuff. This is not my area but I do know good when I see it. I am going to guess a little and say it is a moss agate with marquisites and worth at least 300.00 Lets see what the experts say. Is it silver and how big is it? Great piece.

Its a nice pin and very typical deco style !!  But the fact that its not marked and is not silver hurts the value !! The stone is not particularly well done in the mounting and to me that would say that it is not a quality broach !!  It would still sell  well but I don`t think it would hit that $300. mark !!  I would say closer to $150. or even less depending on the area !!

michaela, did you check along all the edges (and clasp) of the pin as well? It may not be marked on the back, but there may be some sign of a maker in a less obvious place.
