Could it be marcasite? I am no way deeply knowledgable but this caught my eye and I did a bit of research. Great find. Would love to hear where you found it and a bit more about your hunt.

Hi Jessi

Hi jESSI
DONT YOU THINK IT COULD BE LIBETHENITE
THANKS FOR TAKING INTREST IN MY ROCK

I persoanlly do not see any of the typicall "Green" color assoatced with Libethenite. As for the marcasite aspect.. it would show more of a pyrite or shine, shimer effect to the stone which it doesn't..
