With a strong needle, using enough pressure, make a 2-3 mm scratch. Tell us if that tiny scratch is white or black

Do you know how big the object is? Is it a 2 inch snuff bottle or large jug?

Cheers,
Stan

Appears to be a modern piece, made of some types of soft stone, not jade. Super

Hi Ernest
I done the needle test and returns white color

In this case, white indicates that it is not Jade, but a softer stone.

the answer is the same, it is not Jade.

The scratch means it is softer than jade. Steel won't scratch jade. I believe the stars in your last picture are indicative of a modern carving.

Cheers,
Stan
