It is a sapphire. The sapphire used could be used in the honeysuckle tiara and in the wing tiara.
Princess Margaret wore it in the wing tiara (as well as Queen Mary) and as a brooch.

Russian Treasure's find was very significant as it proved beyond doubt that the sapphire had not been purchased from the estate of Empress Marie as many had previously argued.
