Inlay Ranger Belt - help!

Hello! I am new to the group, and totally new to Native American jewelry. I found this piece today at an estate sale and fell in love. I’d love to know more about the origin and possibly composition (opal, and something pink)?!

Also, I couldn’t find any artist markings - so I’m struggling with dating it. I’m assuming the belt (Alexander Kalifano) is not associated with the ranger set. Any help is more than appeciated!

It is difficult to tell from the image, but it looks like pink coral. The other stone is a synthetic opal. This is a manufactured buckle, that symbol most likely is a shop mark. You are correct, the belt has nothing to do with the ranger buckle. A very nice piece.
