Is this unakite?

I found this, and it looks/weighs/feels just like the white and rusty quartz I've been finding all over my property. I've found a few without the green dots, but this is the first one I've seen that has green dots all over it. Do you think it's unakite? If not, what do you think it could be? Thanks IMG_9483.JPG IMG_9484.JPG

First pic looks similar, but I don't think it is. Unakite is pink and green. And, from what I've seen the pink isn't crystaline. I've got some stuff from Wyoming I thought was unakite, but when I look at it in the indoor lighting, the green looks more dark gray. After seeing your post, I looked at it again, but I'm still not sure. The pink makes things look green, that aren't...LOL

The green spots look to be on the stone, not the stone itself. Looks like algae, lichen or moss of some sort.
