Hi, I made a post a few more months and was very pleased with the expertise here after hours of research, so here I am again!!
I purchased this a few weeks ago on a punt!
I think it's old and Jade, but interested in your experience....estimated value would be the icing on the cake (to see if my punt paid off)

I am hesitated to comment on any "jade" pieces with only a single, partial and low-resolution picture. However, judging by its material, luster and workmanship shown on your picture, I am not sure who would have bought it as a birthday gift for himself/herself or for others. I would have "punted" it as soon as I saw it. I hope you did not pay too much for it. Sorry for saying that and of course I can be wrong.

Here you have to make a scratch test, with a strong needle, using enough pressure to make a 2-3 mm scratch, then tell us if that tiny scratch is white or black.
