Re: Pair of Jade Elephants

The first picture of the three new pictures show the top of the elephant in better light and show some crack lines and its texture looks like that of stone, however it is still very difficult to tell what it was made of from pictures alone. If it passed the scratch test (provided it was done correctly), it could be made of bowenite, nephrite or quartz. A S.G. test may be the test that can tell for sure what they were made of.
