I picked up this stone in my garden. It is light blue, but from different perspectives it also has a different color, maybe colorless, dark green.
It's quite hard, not scratched by a knife. It does not change when UV or laser irradiation.



I have several photos of it taken with the Carson MicroFlip MP-250 Pocket Microscope (100x-250x) as shown below.

I want to know if it is a natural stone? What kind of stone could it be?

Thank you very much!

It is a beauty, but I am afraid it is glass. Your second microscope photo gives it away--those spherical divots are bubbles, or what's left of them.

Whether it is stone or glass, it is very beautiful. Its color is not the same as other gemstones, it is cold blue like the eyes of a wolf.
Here are some more pictures of the stone under the microscope. Like a brilliant planet :)

To Stephen Challener: Maybe something that looks like a bubble, but is more complicated. It is like a bubble but very sensitive to the light, like a drop of mercury, in that bubble there are other things. Looking at the IMG-1939 picture or the picture below, you can see that in each bubble there is one or two other things

Nevertheless, it is glass.
