Is this real nephrite jade?

Off hand, I would say YES. But if you want to test, take a strong needle, and make a 2-3 mm scratch somewhere on the bottom, in a corner. Use enough pressure, until you see a tiny white or black line, then let us know.

What the white and black line tell?

In this case, black means the stone takes the metal, = black line,
the white indicates that the stone is softer than the steel pin, and therefore not Jade.What was the result?

I would definately say reasonable quality nephrite, but modern-(Going by the polish)
