Does anyone know what stone the green stone in the center is? Is it adventurine? Thank you for any guidance you can give me. :D

We really can't identify it from a photo.
Contextually, serpentine would be a solid guess. But you'd need to do some testing to know for sure.

Unlikely, judging solely on the picture.
I see something which looks dendritic (those black lines) but I'm not seeing chatoyancy.
Seraphinite is a variety of chatoyant clinochlore.

The chatoyancy in seraphinite looks like feathers or wings.

Labradorite, maybe? Might be a bit light...

I'm not seeing evidence of labradorite in the picture.

I think some of the 'features' I am seeing in the stone are actually the face of the person taking the picture. serpentine was my first guess, too. Though I have seen some jasper like that as well.

Yeah, I'm not sure why I was thinking seraphanite months ago. Maybe viewing it on mobile or something.
Perhaps opalized serpentine?
It'd need testing.
