Re: Need expert opinion on this jade incense burner

Definitely not jade, too transparent even for jadeite. If it can pass the scratch test, then it was probably made of some type of agate or aventurine. If it fails the scratch test, then probably serpentine.

Probably made in the 70s or 80s. This is my amateurish opinion. How big is it?
