I have a Dark Green Stone with strips of a lighter green in it, what is it?

Question

As said in the question space. I have a stone that is dark green, and oddly shaped. It has thin lines of a much lighter green on it.

I don't know what kind of stone it is, and don't even know where to start looking.

Could anyone tell me?

Answer 1

Even a practiced gemologist might have difficulty saying accurately what any given stone might be at a glance.  Glance is the operative word here.  Seeing the stone would make a world of difference for identification.  Here are some links that might help.
