Is anyone able to identify the type of green stone used in the middle of this bracelet?

Maybe Damele turquoise?

Definitely not turquoise. Maybe a jade family like serpentine.
I'd have called it leaverite.

Have you looked at Damele turquoise? It comes in very similar colors and is known for the spiderweb look exhibited in this piece. If it is Damele it's fairly rare and probably has some age and value.

Yes I did. Looks nothing like it. Plus even "damele turquoise" isn't turquoise. It's at best variscite and some examples are calcite. It's pure marketing, done by usurping the name of an actual blue stone. The real turquoise.

Judging by the fairly nice metal work, two - what look to be Mabe type- pearls and a big opal with some color, I'd say it has some value, whatever it is. But, to me, it looks like some of that Chinese stuff they sell under various names including something dragon or dragon something or another. It doesn't look terribly natural, but I have only one picture to go by.
