Blue chatoyant quartz is called "phoenix-eye."
I'm inclined to suspect the stone we are discussing is probably naturally blue, and of a more-colorless or dull tone that resembles dark bluish-gray or "black."
By the way, red chatoyant quartz is called "dragon-eye.' Although this can be a natural coloration, it is a rare material, and (now) is often artificially colored.
