Does anyone recognize this stone?

It probably isn't tourquoise! It looks like flourite and quartz to me.

Yeah, I think I see malachite, fluorite, azurite and quartz but I am wondering what the name of this stone could be?

Not sure what else to suggest, and especially if it's more than one variety of stone blended together, I'd probably only confuse the issue further with guesses...

I can't tell from the photo whether is there any inclusion of dark green (malachite) or dark blue (azurite) if there is, than it could be
(1) Shattuckite (see link)

Based on the attachment, my guess would be
(2) Quantum Quattro Silica (see link)

I am going to go with turquoise. I have so many pieces with this stone, the color ranges from pale blue to deep dark green, with a lot of shades in between. Sometimes it can look translucent, and is often shot through with brown, black, or gray veins of other minerals. This is technically called turquoise matrix, I have some stones that have mica, some with gold in them, some with quartz. None of them look the same - unless you count that awful bright blue plastic looking stone that much of the mass produced factory jewelry has today.
The setting looks vintage, native american. Though NA jewelry can contain many different stones, turquoise was and is the most common. To be sure, take it to any jeweler who deals in a wide variety of stones. They will be able to tell you for sure.

My first best guess was Chrysocolla, but moss and tree agate also come to mind.

I would also guess Chrysocolla.

Pure chrysocolla (which this would be if it were chrysocolla) is too soft to use for making jewelry. Likely to break at the slightest bang into something....so when used for jewelry, it is the polished form, the type found in quartz deposits, that is hard enough to polish into cabochons.
On the other hand, I read that chyrsocolla is often found mixed with malachite and turquoise - not sure if this means it is FOUND in the ground with them, or if jewelers often put the stones together in their pieces. Chrysocolla is often confused with turquoise, though.
