ID? of stone in this jewelry piece.

My sister asked that I try and identify the stone of her necklace. I can venture only a guess. It seems similar to petrified wood - palm. I'm not sure about the blue-green color though. Does anyone have an idea as to its identity, either as fossil material or a type of mineral? Thanks for any assessment.

Wow, that's a looker. It does resemble palmwood. Down to the little vascular shapes. Hmmm ... 

 

Cheers,

Could it have been dyed like they do agate and geode slices?
