What stone is this set in Israeli silver ring?

I am wondering what stone this may be in this ring I have. The ring is. 999 silver and looks to have "Israel" stamped in English and something stamped in Hebrew above it. I appreciate anyone's "2 cents" on the piece.

Looks like it might be malachite.

Nice ring. The stone is known as ‘Eilat Stone’ (the name deriving from the City of Eilat – now in Israel - where it was once mined), also known as ‘King Solomon Stone’. It’s a heterogeneous green/blue mixture of several secondary copper minerals including malachite, azurite, turquoise, pseudomalachite and chrysocolla and is the ‘National Stone’ of Israel.
