With the new pics, the chipping on the surface confirms for me that it is indeed glass, in my opinion. I can see concoidal fractures in those chips, which makes me believe it is glass. It's a pretty color! The shape of it reminds me of a sock darning egg.

Sorry, those are not inclusions. they are shatter or chip marks, from either dropping or hitting. Pretty sure...

sir austin, those marks are inside. and i can see cloudy thing when i turn light up sideways.. also that crack is caused by a missing curve-like inclusion. as u can see a tiny dark green curves on the image above that are crystaline particles that covers all over the surface. SG is 2.8-3.0... way above a glass specific gravity..

That is not entirely correct. Consider there are LOTS of different variations of glass. Some "lead glass" varieties will and can reach those numbers.

The "Whiteish" one looks like quartz.
