Hi, @kittyloo !  A bit hard to tell but I'd guess either Maw Sit Sit or Zoisite.  462E892D-7DC0-4776-8FB7-FA32EC556440.jpegZoisite

if the stone has flecks of red, it could be ruby zoisite.  Hope this helps!

just did a little digging, and i think that you are spot on with the zoilite.  marketing is everything when selling jewelry. 

thanks so much, i would have never found that on my own.

Your picture is poor; it could be several things.  How about Azurite/Malachite?
