If its agate like, I would suggest that it is green chalcedony. it doesnt look like its got too many dendrites in it though

If you had said West Australia I would have been pretty confident with Chalcedony (I have some green dendritic chalcedony from west Australia that looks quite similar to this). The rough looks a lot like chrysoprase rough, just a different green.

I believe that is gaspeite in chalcedony. It's a fairly rare silicified nickel carbonate out of Australia and was on the market a couple of years ago. As others said it could also be a pale chrysoprase like lemon chrysoprase. Not that far removed from gaspeite as those are nickel rich silica too.....Mel
