    The fractures argue against. Jade is prized because it doesn't readily crack. Also can't see using a good piece of jade for such a rudimentary carving. This is dyed something.

    @Bronwen Scratches glass and I dug in with a lot of force and nothing was done but metal from blade rubbing off on object
