Well I believe your comment is translated from any other language but whateva it is seems very childish. I really didnt understand what you tried to say that whether its fake or real but not good quality.but I could tell you, you can dream about a gem like this in your life. its been tested and hardness is 7.somehow its soon going on auction.thanks for comment

Hello Sheen,

I am sorry for that, my bad. Yes it was childish.

I believed it look like white marble...

Authentication of minerals/gemstones from picture is impossible, it requires testing.

But seven exceeds nephrite jade hardness (witch is bet. 5 and 6, 6.5 max). Perform a gravity test would help to tell exactly what it is.

Still I can't see the relationship between this rock and this forum subject anyway, Asian art?

P. S it doesn't look like nephrite to me but I would be happy to be proved wrong.
