Rock hounds, geologists of tOT, and Hank Schrader's ghost: Rock/mineral ID

When I take my dogs for a walk on the trails behind our house the 4 month old puppy almost always brings back a rock to play with on the deck when we get back. This time it was bright yellow/green and I thought it was a piece of plastic but it is a rock. It has been polished so likely dropped by a kid and not native.
Does anyone have a clue? Google failed me. But this is the closest thing I found which could be it with veins of something else in it. The brown veins don't seem to be dirt since I can't scratch it out with a dental pick.

Geology rocks!

It's the residue of an airplane toilet flush that froze and calcified on its descent to the ground. Congrats on the find!

You need to call up the ghost of Pectus.

Heard of bloodhounds, never heard of a rockhound.

Ask Obtuse1, he seems to know everything.

Looks like Amazonite.

Maybe chrysoprase or lemon chrysoprase.
Looking at a variety of Google images of both, I'd lean towards lemon chrysoprase... some pics include marbling like yours.

I think my wife may have it, her response:
"Looks like someone polished a Russian kidney stone after they drank polonium tea."

Where are you? It looks like chrysoprase or chrysocolla.
