This has good provenance acquired 20 years ago by my wife, the carving late Chin Dynasty it measures 32mm wide, 45mm tall and 19mm deep at the thickest area and weighs a little under 31g not including the Amber bead necklace. The color is loquat with transparent skin that collects and transmits the ambient light and has a radish skin texture.

I think the quality of this stone carving is excellent but my knowledge is new found and on Tianhuang I’m not sure where this fits on the scale of best to worst, or the range of price per gram this falls in?

Thank you

I just noticed a typo in my post lt should read Qing Dynast,I’ll add 3 more photographs showing the light refracting through the clear skin from standing it up this is the same light condition as the other pictures. And a comparison to cut loquat and cut radish.
