    My personal take on the photographs is that both the answers given
    so far are correct! How? Perhaps this material is dumortierite in
    quartz ;-) This would explain the apparent viening running through
    the material and the dumortierite appearance of the blue colouration.
    HOWEVER, this is just guessing and James of SOF is quite right that
    you really need to get a piece or two verified to be sure. Especially
    if you are going to say "this IS ..........". If you stick to "this
    is possibly .......", then you may be covering yourself? 

Just my thoughts/suggestions.

Nick
