The best way is to take it to a lapidary or to a certified gemologist.
The quick and dirty way:
1. The stone must be a shade of green; if dark green (supposedly rarer), it means the stone has more iron in it.
2. Upon an inspection with a magnifying glass or something more powerful, you should be able to find inclusions. If it is totally clean (meaning no inclusions), then most likely it is a colored CZ (cubic zircon), aka, lab-made stone.
3. Some experts expect it to show a rainbow of colors when held against a source of light (natural and artificial). Most natural stones are expected to behave this way.
