Subject:Is this a jade carving?
Posted By: Darius Fri, Jun 06, 2014 IP: 109.150.178.25

I was given this stone carving of a horse and was wondering whether it had any value? I tried the scratch test and it didn't even get marked, it's really cold, even on a day like today, 22 degree celcius it's cold. Does it have any value whatsoever?

This could be very well Bowenite, which is quite hard.

Most likely not, with the high gloss it could very well be glass.Another point..it is not an antique.
