Here is a relatively small carving of an ox or water buffalo. My impression is that is fairly modern, but nicely rendered.
I have worked with lapidary materials in the past, so my guess is that this object is either jadite or chalcedony. The finish is very high gloss. At first I thought it could be marble, but it is too translucent and resists the scratch test.
Any ideas, opinions or insights?
Thank you
