A green crystal found in Vermont would probably be Peridot or Grossular Garnet.

Could be tourmaline.

Tourmaline is more likely. Eden Mills had grossular garnet. Most green from Vermont is serpentine related.

Thanks, Kitt for the info the only test I did do on it is that it cuts glass. What ever that really means?
