it's not glass but an agate slab

Ray is right I think, it looks like a slice from a lump that has had the faces polished.

From the other side of the world - I agree it is a slice of natural agate.  It has not been injected with bright dye like so much of the more recent stuff.  It is best viewed I find by placing it on the glass of the window in sunlight when the internal patterns show to good effect in most cases.

Hello Everyone !!!
 
So it's not glass after all.  :t:  and to think, it looks and feels so much like glass with it's translucent features.   The colours certainly do come out when placed near the window in direct sunlight Ross.  I have also found out that green and blue are rare colours.  This piece has all those colours too.  I was able to find a piece similar to mine on Ebay No. 28068815642.  Thanks to you all in verification of this item.   :rah: :rah:
