I agree with Barbra. Pretty sure that's the honeycomb pattern typical of fibre optic glass. I last saw it in cats eye fibre optic glass.

That is amazing, Barbra!

This stone could also be a fossiliferous chert of some sort. I feel like I have seen similar ones before.

It's just fantastic where this glass came from in the Carpathian River, where there are no plants or factories, only wood processing plants. But I also ask you to identify these frosted glass

Probably in these photos there is some kind of glass, if no one says anything, but nothing can be lucky that when I find something more valuable than glass.

I bought such a tester for $ 3, maybe it works poorly, but the result in the photo shows the first stone showing the first red mark and the dull stones sometimes reach the second mark, and I also say I tried dozens of glasses and the tags stood still, so maybe and not glass

make sure you are not touching anything metallic when you use that tester. It appears from the photo that something metallic may have scraped on the stone. avoid that when you test.
