Got this unknown stone today. I bought it as a tourmaline (blue/green). I popped it into the refractometer and it has an RI of 1.54. That of course isnt tourmaline, but quartz or iolite. It doesnt look like a quartz to me, or an iolite. Never seen a either this color. It has a BF of .08-.09 (its inbetween, my refractometer doesnt give smaller then .00.
I am confused as of what it is. It is a green color, but gives neon blue flashes, and in sunlight it looks blue with neon blue flashes. No inclusions in it.
Someone out there has to have an idea!
