This is a cabochon made of Verde d'Arno (or Lineate d'Arno) which is a rare variety of "pietra paesina" or "ruin marble" existing the the Arno Valley near Florence in Tuscany, Italy.
Verde d'Arno has a specific geometric pattern which reminds the cubist paintings of Paul Klee =D>
It is characterized by the intersection of various green triangular-shaped patterns and by the presence of brown to yellow shades, all due to iron oxides coloring this marly calcite.
