Hi Andrea,
Why do you think your nice carving is jade? Have you done a scratch test?
It has non-jade material added, such as at least two pieces of possibly abalone or clam shell for the mother-of-pearl effect.
Take a steel needle and in an unobtrusive place, such as on the bottom, use moderate pressure to make a small (say 2 to 3 mm long) scratch on the main stone, and add a post here about what color the scratch is. Then a person knowledgeable about hardstones should be able to tell you more.
Best regards,
Judy
