Not sure what it is but how are you planning to set it? I think pendant and ring are ruled out, lol!

Plastic? Lucite?

I’m pretty sure it’s not plastic.

It's a very nice paperweight!

Ever see Steven’s Universe? Looks like Sapphire lost their gem!

I have a very similar stone, except smaller, that is an antique synthetic sapphire. Not sure if that's your gem, but maybe?

id find out what it is (for conversation purposes) and get a beautiful stand for it and display it predominantly especially at Christmas
its very pretty
it would be cool if it was synthetic saphire

Are you sure it’s not glass?
I have a collection of similar in different colours. There are some for sale on eBay.
It wont be a natural gem, no gem that big is that perfectly even in colour and without inclusions / crystal imerfections. If it’s not cut glass it’s most likely synthetic corundum.

And very reasonably priced, too -- if you order at least 100

I thought the same thing, I know it’s pretty old, my husband dropped it from about 4 feet in the air on accident. pretty high up, it didn’t break, I think it’s beautiful looking at it sometimes it looks glowing dark blue and dark, then u will look at it and then it almost turns purple. Very dark striking colors.

It seems crazy to think that it might be synthetic or real, my son loves stones and he at one time had it in his pocket. Guess I just want to make sure it’s not valuable.

I have some like that in various colors that are made of glass.

that it travelled in your sons pocket adds to its story
i think it has real Cinderella charm
even as a paperweight i would find it memorizing and would want to pick it up and fondle it

[Tourmaline]

It’s not valuable and it’s not a stone. Definitely glass or plastic.
