Gotta love how all computer screens have different color settings. To me the first one looks light turquoise in color, which qualifies as greenish. The second looks variscite (ish) to me.
What is the cab size of the first? Like the stamped, wide band, so guessing pretty large.

Have to say it's trending more blue on my monitor.
Don't know what the second stone is, but it's pretty! Looks more like a serpentine to me, but I'm nowhere near an expert.

Looks blue to me, too. I like it, though.

If harder than serpentine, then something like Plasma is another possibility. Too hard for serpentine, sent a pic to the guy I got it from... He thought New Zealand Jade. The blueish green stone came in with a name High Street turquoise from Nevada but I still think varascite.

I rolled the pattern on with rolling mill.

This came in with some turquoise marked 'High Street" from Nevada I cannot find anything on a mine called "High Street" anywhere in Nevada nor a turquoise called high street.

toiv0, it's bluish-green on my monitor and I have some material just like it. I believe it's actually chalcosiderite from Nevada. It's often confused with both turquoise and variscite but it's a separate and very attractive mineral despite its unromantic name. I have some that was dug within a few hundred yards of the No. 8 Turquoise mine and it shares the same general appearance but lacks the strong blue that marks No. 8. They share the same black matrix, and the contrast makes for some very attractive stones I think. nevada-outback-gems.com/mineral_information/Chalcosiderite_mineral_info.htm
