Gemstone Experts! What is this?

Does anyone know what this green stone might be? I don't think it's turquoise because this is not a very $$ piece of jewelry and this pendant is pretty large and solid. Or it could be? And it's more greenish than blue. 

 

Ideas?

Maybe a synthetic stabilized turquoise? Or a green kingman turquoise with the copper matrix colors? Not sure but it is pretty!

It looks like turquoise.  Turquoise, except for some unique and rare pieces, is not an expensive stone.  But it's pretty!

A pretty good guess is turquoise...Chinese turquoise because of the color of the copper veining. People are used to seeing the sky blue Sleeping Beauty turquoise, but I've always preferred stones w/ a greenish hue.

Definitely not turquoise, especially if it's inexpensive.  It's so shinny,  it looks like a very hard, polished stone.  My guess is a dyed agate, granite or marble.
