Please help with this pin, please

Identifying & Discovering
1

I recently got this sterling silver beetle/bug pin. It’s not really a pendant, so please ignore the chain.
The stone is very green.
Any help with the maker’s marking and the stone origin would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much! I really enjoy this forum and all the great information.

Thank you, Steve! That is absolutely the marking. Can I ask what is the reference you used? I have lots of reference, but that page doesn’t look familiar.

Thanks again!
