Answer
Hello,

I usually go with first impressions, my first was tiger eye, which is normally yellow to brown in color.  I have had it in blue which may have been dyed.  So I am thinking it is possible to be a green version. This color could be a natural color of tiger eye.  Tiger eye is a member of the quartz family.
