Sorry, my bookmark stopped working.
Not Citrine, not moonstone (although I'm sort of obsessed with moonstone lately).
It can be (sort of multicolored, variegated, although mostly people use just one color of it)
Not sardonyx
It can be banded
It's not normally multip colored (or normally thought of as multi colored - people throw out the part that's not the main color)
Not fluorite
No inclusions but it has a lot of little vugs sometimes
Nope, not Larimar.
Moh is a good deal less than 7.
I'd say it's a popular cabbing stone - that's its main use judging by a google images search.
Although through that same search, I just learned that it apparently comes in a couple of crystalline forms too - we usually use the . . .uh . . . non-crystalline form.
