This is one of my favorite necklaces. I made it about 5-6 years ago when I worked at a bead store. Unfortunately, I've lost the identification of the stones. They were from a trunk show, so I wasn't as familiar with the material. I have no idea what the center stone is. My guess would be a rhyolite. It has a satiny polish. The darker green coins are seraphinite, and the small grey rondelles are a blue-flash labradorite. I also don't know what the stripey coins are. They appear similar to an included quartz and are well-silicated. The color ranges from a pale yellow-green to a darker green.

I really like the necklace you made when you worked at a bead store, micellular! Not sure what the center stone is either. ...I also don't know what the stripey coins are.

If it has satiny finish it probably is a type of rhyolite. Not sure on the beads though. As you know the bead sellers use all kinds of different names even for the same stone depending on if it sells. They could be green quartz which is usually dyed to get that color but yours look different from the green quartz I've seen. They could be green tourmalinated quartz.
