Subject:Carved Tiger
Posted By: J.Mitchell Mon, Aug 15, 2016 IP: 82.44.239.102

Can anyone advise me as to whether the carved tiger in the pics is worth anything. It`s made of marble or something.Regards.

Hard to say where this was so sketchily manufactured.

Value it as much as you like it for decoration.

Thank you snap. Do you think it could possibly be Jade?

I do not think it looks like nephrite or jadeite. My first impression was that it is glass.

Use a good magnifying glass, and if you see bubbles then any hardstone is ruled out.

Thanks for the tip Snap. there are no bubbles at all and it doesnt` feel like glass. Ironically I worked in a glass factory for 35 years and I can say it definately isn`t glass. Again thank you
