Hello, I am looking for help identifying this stone that was found in the mountains in Colorado. Tried searching different sites and apps but can't find anything that seems to be accurate. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I'm guessing aquamarine too. If fluorite I would expect to see more cleavage planes. It's a beautiful specimen if it is. Can you scratch it with a knife? If not then most probably aquamarine. If you can it's most likely fluorite.
 
Yes I believe so
Mount Antero is a known aquamarine source. Check the hardness as Johnho suggested. Also, take a look down the long axis. How many sides do you see? Aquamarine crystals are hexagonal. The crystal faces may also have vertical striations down the long axis.
