Pretty! Did you do the shaping and polishing? Very pretty.
I'm guessing it's just the type of light you are using that's giving it the blue color in the first pic.
Looks like quartz or quartzite with some dark inclusions. Those dark spots could be a lot of things. Hematite, Magnetite, etc.
The spots that are leaching the lighter brown color are pretty interesting. Could be a lot of things also, like Iron Pyrite, etc.

Thanks for reply. No I did no shaping, just polishing. The light was not special , just a small flash light sitting behind it. But I agree  WOW it is a beauty. Have a Godly day ☮️
