My guess is that it is slag glass from the Owens-Corning plant.

The slag glass posts are correct. It started life in an Owens Corning Insulation plant that used to be in our town. It was given to us by my gf's parents. It sits on our mantle. I have got to say you guys are good.

I was going to guess that it was a huge piece of the green glass that's found on the Sahara !
