Natural green diamonds are extremely rare. You would call one a 'green diamond'.
According to the GIA Web site:
"Green diamonds get their color when radiation displaces carbon atoms from their normal positions in the crystal structure. This can happen naturally when diamond deposits lie near radioactive rocks, or artificially as a result of treatment by irradiation."
