<p>[QUOTE="Ezlisting, post: 5653, member: 99"]I'm thinking this is Slag Glass but my gem tester is registering in the tourmaline/iolite section. Could it be that this piece is so dense that it's throwing off the tester? It weighs 11 pounds; 10 x 4 x 5-inches. The slag glass that I see on ebay are mostly clear, this one is opaque. I'm leaning towards slag glass since tourmaline should have vertical striations, right?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1145[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1146[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
