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.

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