Me, it is always green, the yellow and the white forms come from treating
them in acid to change the color, it is first green then yellow and last
white.  When I worked at a shell place in Florida, this was one of my jobs,
acid treating them by the 100's, and the yellow and white ones always sold
for more.  I don't have any, but my wife has a white one and a green one
