I found this while digging a creek bed in Central Kansas Today. There is no way it is obsidian or flint by its color and transparency but I'm not too sure what forms the cubical fracture patterns. When I first discovered these pieces it was a single pane of cubical glass like dark gray stone. it only became transparent and blueish at the second glance. Anyone with possibilities of what this may be?

Does this change your mind any Dizzy?

Honestly..no. Agree with GF450 that we need better pics to make
any serious determination. I downloaded your pic and tried to improve
it a bit, but struck out. A pic taken in natural daylight would be best.

The new photo shows the form isn't precisely cubic, but only roughly so. Therefore I withdraw my previous guess, and agree with fractured dark-blue tinted tempered glass, as Clay Diggins says.
