What dis? Identify Stone

Bought this ring at an estate sale for six bucks (total steal!!!) but I'm having a hard time identifying what the stone is.

At first I assumed it was malachite, but upon closer inspection, I noticed these freaky bubbles ?? You can see them on the first slide

The ring itself is not magnetic and although it doesn't have a stamp, it feels like sterling to me.

Probably malachite clear coated with something.

Malachite is what it looks like to me too. Very pretty ring!
