Fairly nice material (seems like Chinese nephrite river pebble/boulder) for a modern carving. What are the dimensions?

Interested in buying it for how much?

The color and texture does almost appear to be nephrite, however unless it is very small, I just cannot imagine they will waste pretty nice celadon nephrite jade to carve a modern ox. If it is big and can be scratched, it is more likely serpentine with artificial staining to made it look old.
