My pictures are terrible! There are no dead stones in the piece! I shot photos of this thing all morning trying different things. This is the best I could do which means you will be very happy when it is in your hand and it looks amazing!  This rare fur clip is made by Boucher and is marked inside 3133. I would have ignored that in the past but thanks, AI, who varified that was 100% a Boucher by that number! Who knew!
