My large bead

I found this bead for $15 and was curious to figure out what type of turquoise (if it’s turquoise) it is. It was a pendant wrapped in silver wire. I’m still learning and would love to know any thoughts on it. It’s almost an inch and a half long and has a lot of pyrite.

It can be so difficult to know exactly what you have. The characteristics that can be added to a stone to make it look real are being perfected.
