Subject:Military Jade seal?
Posted By: Josh Hoffman Mon, Jan 18, 2021 IP: 74.138.24.3

Hello all! I hope you all can help me, I believe I have, either original or replica, a military jade seal used between messengers... It was given to me about 10 years from an old neighbor, her deceased husband had spent some time in China and was a big Jade collector. I moved and found it again and it sparked my curiosity to find out exactly what it is.

Sorry, but this a much softer stone than Jade.
This I know for sure

Hi Josh,
Sorry this is not old and nor is it jade. It's highly probable to be quartzite.
Fanciful carving.
