Turquoise, or a less valuable gem dyed to look like turquoise.

Hi, thank you very much. I showed this to a supposedly " turquoise specialist" and he said it is not it. I also thought it was turquoise. Thanks again
 
3rd vote for larimar. Until a month ago I hadn't ever even heard of larimar, but saw it in every jewelry store during our vacation in Maui. Pretty movement, but I knew the prices were touristy.
 
It could also be dyed composite howlite. They make it to look turquoise like. The photo looks not as blue as other larimar I have seen before.

I saw a lot of “Larimar” offered at NY NJ Gem show this spring. I didn’t look closely but the sizes and quantity available made me think it was some imitation. I’m sure dyed howlite can be made to look like Larimar as well
 
Larimar, for sure.
 
Thank you all so much!!! I'm gonna go with Larimar. You guys are awesome!!!
