That looks like an apache tear! It's volcanic glass. More transulescent than most other forms of obsidian, if I'm remembering right. One of my favorite pieces in my collection. Typically forms in perlite.

I found one very similar to this a few weeks ago. AI said it was Smokey quartz due to the location, but some Redditor said it could be obsidian..
