sorry have to agree with ernest on this one. The frosty cut line near the tail and the eye brow is a give away.I think it is either sand blasted nepherite or acid treated and stained serpentine. try scratch it with a sharp knife point. The brown stain looks very artificial.seen that color alot on modern serpentine carvings.
