Attached is an image, they are both real Lego the left is definitely darker(Dark
trans Green?) than the right AND also has a "Circle" in the middle. According
to BL they dont make a Trans Dark Green 1x1 Tile. They also are both with groove.

Did Lego just have a bad day that day or another, "Add to the catalog?"

Yours is just an extreme color variation of
 
Part No: 3070  Name: Tile 1 x 1
* 
3070 Tile 1 x 1
Parts: Tile {Trans-Light Blue}
and definitely not
 
Part No: 3070  Name: Tile 1 x 1
* 
3070 Tile 1 x 1
Parts: Tile {Trans-Green}
which is normally available but very much darker IRL than yours and than the
render shows.

Maybe Im confused. It is Definitely not even close to being a trans light blue.
So just list the one on the left as a trans green? What about the circle would
some object to the circle? All of my other trans colors tiles I have do not have
this circle.

The one on the left is Trans-Green.  It seems to be PC (polycarbonate), the “old”
plastic for transparent parts (a bit shinier and more “crystal-like” (more refraction?)).

The one on the right… I don’t know what colour it is but it seems to be MABS
(transparent ABS), the “new” plastic for transparent parts.  A bit duller.

Hpoort’s idea of it being TrLBlue wouldn’t surprise me.
I’m also seeing a few Trans-Bright Green being listed in the PG… but that colour
doesn’t exist, so it’s either the same as yours or Trans-Neon Green… but (but
but but) TrNGreen is even further away from Tr-Green than TrLBlue….

Is it not just two variants of Tr. Green? That's what it looks like to me.
I agree the left is probably PC (30039) and the right is probably MABS (35403).

Yes, could be too.

And I fogot to say: PC needs a different mould because it doesn’t set the same
way than ABS, but MABS sets the same as ABS, so they use the same moulds.
So the circle can be explained by an older/different mould.

I’m fairly certain that both are trans-green, and the one on the right is manufactured
with a newer plastic as Sylvain suggests. Where did you obtain the tile on the
right - from a sealed set, or bulk, or a purchase here? The reason I ask is
that recently I parted out the mini Ninjago sets (Micro Ninjago City Gardens/Docks
etc.) and the trans-green tiles were exactly like that. Those sets were released
just last year.

I’ve seen the difference in trans-light blue parts and it’s noticeable, but still
easy to identify as that shade. The off-shade trans-light blue is not green,
more like an aqua or discolouration.

I would list both as trans-green. If you prefer, list them in two lots with (older
version) and (newer version).
