Possibly some amethyst? Maybe fluorite for some. If you have any quartz points try and scratch them, that could differentiate between fluorite and quartz.

Possibly Fluorite if fairly soft, 4 to 5 on the Mohs Hardness Scale. Impure Sodalite or impure Lapis Lazuli if somewhat harder, 5 to 6 on the Mohs Hardness Scale.

I'd say flourite gets my vote.

Thanks for your help guys. It does seem to match up with the properties of fluorite best
