Not sure about the matrix on the slab, but that's what I would guess it is from the photos.

Chrysocolla gem silica with malachite inclusions. Makes nice cabs.

When there's malachite inclusions it can be more green. Looks to me like there's some malachite inclusions in yours, but the majority of it is gem silica. The best is translucent Windex blue. Photos
