I found this stone on the Back Beach, Riverton, but I am unable to identify it. It has a couple of small patches of white quartz in it, and the close-up views suggest it may be a kind of stained quartz. One of its significant features is the cloud of green found mainly on one side. It has polished well, with just one small rough area close to the largest white quartz patch.

Close-ups of the stone reveal characteristics of its quartz make-up and its green staining:
