Round Green Stone

I picked this up at the beach where it was tumbled almost round (2 inch diameter).
The slightly darkened areas are where I've begun to polish the stone. It is exceedingly hard and dense and will polish out beautifully. There are some interior patterns like waves or layers which I hope to bring out more.
Is this jade,aventurine,or what ?
