Dear May

After careful observation at additonal pictures you emailed me, I would say that it is possibly not a mutton fat white nephrite, it would be semi-translucent opaque white nephrite.

It is definately a soft glow true jade by looking at the light shining through the "C" scroll high motifs, but it is a modern craftsmanship, and possibly artificial stained to immitate russet skin.

Have fun
Anita
