It looks like Jadeite/Jade.
With a strong needle,using enough pressure , make a 2-3 mm scratch. This tiny scratch will be black or white.Tell us which color it shows

your last posting is confusing
I recommend that you let an expert check it,or use the services of an museum.

It certainly does not look like a vase, but it seems to be an older Nephrite carving
