It appears to be Lapis from the photo.
It does not appear to be Turquiose.
Best of luck!

one thing I can say it is not Turquoise, that would be a robin's egg blue.

It could be Lapis Lazuli or Sodalite. your photo could pass for either one.

Thanks for all the input, I'll just list it as sodalite and sterling, unless anyone else think its lapis. I can't streak test it.
