Anybody recognize this stone?

I am not even sure this is turquoise. It is a very light blue, with spots of colorless, with a dark matrix. Finally, one island of green!

The pictures are much darker. More robin egg blue in real life and maybe a light tint of green in real life.
It tends to shift colors between robin egg blue and into a bit of green. Last one most real to color.

Not marked other than sterling.

I would date it to the 70’s.

I have seen natural turquoise mountain that has this look, nice piece.

Very good call! I had never really looked at it as an option, but based upon descriptions seems like a good match. I like the way the matrix appears almost blue, black, and brown all in one stone. I also like how it sometimes looks green and sometimes looks blue.
