If you're talking about the green stones in your photo, I think they might be green aventurine or new "jade" serpentine. Both of those stones have that pale green color sometimes. If you look at the green in the daylight and it seems to have a slight glitter (like looking at sandpaper in the sunlight), it is more likely to be aventurine (which has mica in it). It's hard to tell from photos... Nice cache!
