Looks to be a porphyritic basalt stone known as a Flowerstone, with the crystals most likely stained green from algae in the stream.

Welcome to the Board!
Good eye, Nice find, and great pictures! Glad Dave was able to help!
I'm just curious where you found this beautiful rock at? A State would be fine.
Thanks,
Joe
