This stone is nicer in hand than the pictures show!!
This is an Indicolite (blue) Tourmaline, from Nigeria. It has not been tested for Copper Content (some of the Nigerian stones were Cuprian) but it does have nice glow.
The stone is a light blue color, very much like a nice Aquamarine. It was a typical pencil-shaped Tourmaline crystal (long and skinny) in the rough, and I decided to have it cut into an Octagon, with some scissor facets to make it interesting. It was precision-cut in the USA by John Miller.
I have a low price on the stone due to the extreme dimensions (10x3.5 I think--need to measure) and the inclusions. The stone is almost eyeclean in real life, so I would call it lightly included, but the camera is over-emphasizing the inclusions.
