Magnesium crystal? Don't know if there's a fancy name for the stone but I think it has to be a magnesium base as magnesium burns brightly and for quite a long time releasing both carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.

If it's sphalerite, then maybe it's Cleiophane? Somehow, the chemical makeup of sphalerite doesn't seem right but then the sum total of chemistry I know is what I've learned after I turned 50 and began studying gemstones.
Edit to add: After it's identity is confirmed, please help me understand this statement
