[QUOTE="hunt2, post: 10006498, member: 85118"]I have posted the item on asian art forums and this was the response of Mark@imperial Adams Asian Art I am not sure what the purpose was for this carving as I do not deal with archaic jades. However, it's my opinion that this is highly probable to not be jade and most likely serpentine. It look artificially aged. Always be very careful with perfect straight lines, circle and curves. In my opinion it's a fairly new carving and if you can get that price then sell.[/QUOTE]
