    Coming along a bit late (as usual), but I wanted to add that I've
    bought several cabs of this lovely material at local gem & mineral
    shows. It is glassy, with a transparent to greenish body color and
    stripes of opaque light blue, some of which are close enough together
    to give a shimmering effect - very agate-y and quite pretty. 

    It was sold under the name "Swedish Blue." Happy to send pix or
    contact info for the seller to anyone interested, off list. 

Cheers,
