Extremely Interesting Stone Fish Pin

We think this is soapstone, but are not absolutely certain, so if anyone has any thoughts on that, we'd love to hear them. Stone has a slightly greenish hue. The pin back is also of a type I've never seen before. I'm tempted to say this may be from some northwestern native American maker, but there are no marks of any kind that I can find. Approx. 2 1/2 inches x 3/4 inch at the widest point. Definitely a conversation starter!

Good pre-owned vintage condition. Please note: Our photos are taken with a high definition closeup lens. The pictures you see are the equivalent of looking at the piece through a strong magnifying glass and may show flaws that are not apparent to the naked eye. We do not deep clean vintage jewelry and some items may have age appropriate patina or tarnish, especially in the deep recesses. Please examine all photographs as they are your best indicator as to appearance and condition.
