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.

Yes but when I clean with my hand it disappears maybe was from knife?

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
