This light green quartz-like crystal seems to have a lot of mica (the reflections of the mica in the pics look white but they are reflections). Origin is Oregon - sorry I can’t be more specific.

I’ve seen samples of Variscite and chrysocolla that look similar, but I’m a total beginner so any guidance is appreciated!

With the reflective platelets included, I think you have a nice big chunk of Aventurine quartz. Nice find!
