I think it’s an Eilat stone - Israeli. Looks like hebrew along the side too maybe.

Eilat is a local name for mixed copper minerals (azurite, malachite). I forget if it’s religious or lucky or what the story is.

Welcome me, interesting piece!

Color fidelity in the photos is a big issue for IDing stones because not only the camera/lighting can skew the color but so can my monitor. When I first looked I thought a jade variant but after I enlarged it looked more like turquois.

I think randazzo has it. I saw the characters but didn't recognize them. Any marks on the back!

Best wishes and good luck!
