Hiya, Does anyone know what this clear frosted plastic is called? I bought this brooch at an art deco fair but cannot for the life of me remember what it was described as! Many thanks :)

Think I might have answered my own question! Have found similar cicada brooches from 40s in lucite - although they are a clear lucite whereas this is sort of frosty.. but I think it must be lucite :)
 
that's beautiful. I'm no expert on old plastics, but it does seem similar to other items I've seen described as lucite, such as those box handbags. I think you could describe it as pearlised, or pearlescent, rather than frosty.
