Found this in a local pit. Dark green, fractures are healed with a pale green quartz, and red feldspar I think.

Make some really nice cabs where the green and red blend together for contrast.

The geologist has spoken. Porphyritic basalt and peridotite with pink orthoclase feldspar and hematite stained quartz sealing the fractures.
So I think the common term would be unakite.
