This is just a guess out of left field, but with those fibrous lines running through it, I'm thinking something like fiber optic glass. They make plenty of "gemstones" out of that stuff.

Oh, wow, I think you're right- just looking at photos of fiberoptic glass, I think it looks just like it! Thanks for the ID!

This looks like fiberoptic glass. You see fiber optic glass in decorative balls and smaller pieces in beads and some cabs. It is a manmade glass that is fiberous in one direction giving a cats eye affect and in the other direction you can see through it like the mineral ulexite.
