Copper bearing or not, it might not be a glowly all the time stone. I'd say depends on the price. If you want assurance on copper content, best to have a lab check it out. Some copper bearing are super glowly, some have weak glow.

It's irresponsible to identify a stone from a photo alone, but those broken edges certainly don't look like tourmaline to me.

We cant ID stones from just a few pics.

I don't know why there's always people who try to get us to ID stones. Everything is guesswork unless you submit it to an independent lab. The only instances I can ever ID a gem is if the gem is precision cut and it's of a variety I'm familiar with and the pictures span a range of lighting situations and are in focus with magnification.

If it's not been precision cut but cabbed, it's pretty hopeless to ID from photos.
