SOLVED: Help identifying blue stones

Hi there I purchased this gem from a sales person in India.

The stone is a bright blue colour and sparkles in the light. I was told it could be amethyst but i thought amethyst was purple.

If anyone in the community could help me identify it, that would be a huge help!

Thanks!

Below are some common gems. There are many more, plus lesser minerals. "Blue" doesn't narrow it down much. That's like saying: "I have a brown dog - what breed is he?"
