Turquoise ID Needed

Can anyone identify this “turquoise”?

Is this a test @StevesTrail, lol. I’m leaning toward a variscite. I’ve got rings set with Nevada green turquoise and dark green Royston turquoise. These cabs don’t look anything like those turquoises, imo. That’s all I’ve got to make a comparison.

No test @Patina . I was also thinking variscite but wanted opinions from those more knowledgable on turquoise.

I agree on variscite. Here are some cabs to compare.

I agree, variscite. I bought several Damale cabs from an Austin NV turquoise shop probable +/- 20 years ago. I know this is repetitious, but the owner was the first knowledgable person to tell me that this variscite and Faustite are commonly misrepresented as Damale turquoise.
Here’s a couple natural Damale variscite cabs:
