Antique Mourning Cameo Necklace / Vulcanite?

Description

Antique Mourning Cameo Necklace / Vulcanite?
Very nice condition. Please view all pictures as part of the description. See picture taken on 2” ruler to get an idea of the size. I am unsure of the material. The original owner believed it to be vulcanite but I do not know how to confirm this.
The sections of chain that would go directly around the neck (from the top of the cameo) measure approximately 17”. So the cameo would lay closer to the base of the neck than it does on my form which is smaller than normal-person size.

As there is no more room to store things in the house and no room for a car in the garage, I am going to be listing an assortment of items in an attempt to get things back in order.  Most of the items will be things I have collected over the years and items from my mother?s and grandparents? estates.  I am not  an expert so I do not clean any jewelry or  metals of any kind other than wiping with a dry cloth.    I try to describe everything accurately and point out any flaws I see.  If I omit something or list something inaccurately it is not out of intent.   Email any questions and I will answer to the best of my ability.
Please keep in mind that practically all vintage pieces have been loved, used or worn by at least one previous owner.  It's a rarity to find an item that has absolutely no indication of use.
I am rating items as follows.  Excellent ? minimal wear or use with no obvious damages ? If I have to use a loop to see a flaw, I may still rate it as excellent.  Very Good ? minimal wear, scratches, flaws ( as described) that can be seen with the naked eye but are not obvious.  Good ? major scratches or damage ( as described ) but can still be worn or used and does not detract from the desirability of the piece.  Fair ? Several major scratches or damages ( as described ) but item can still be worn or used.  Poor ?  Damage is obvious and item needs repair to be worn or used.
If for any reason you are unsatisfied with your purchase, please contact me before you leave negative feedback, so that I may have an opportunity to clear up any problem.
