Re: how can I tell if this snuf is jade or someother semi precious stone

Could be glass or jade. Do a scratch test. Elephants are indigenous to China in a very limited area. China�s elephants can only be found in the extreme south of the Yunnan province bordering Burma and Laos. This may provide an idea of origin.

The carving doesn't look particularly high quality to me.

Cheers,
Stan
