The blue color is probably caused by interference in a thin oxide
coating on the sulphide inclusion. Just like a thin layer of oil on
water can create a rainbow pattern of different colours.
This effect is also seen in a number of minerals like pyrite,

Too light for hematite or iron. 20 grams at that size gives a density of
