<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lucille.b, post: 129220, member: 51&quot;]Thanks. I wish I was better at identifying serpentine/soapstone/jade/glass etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>The material is &quot;glass-like&quot;.&nbsp; I had it in an unheated room next to the house, probably 45-50 degrees in there, and it was ice cold to the touch. Almost colder than glass.&nbsp; It is sort of a slightly rough, dry texture, I always think of jade as being almost &quot;oily&quot; and very smooth and polished, so don&#039;t think it is that.&nbsp; Also I get the impression it would shatter into a million pieces if dropped.&nbsp; Don&#039;t know if any of that description points to one thing or the other.&nbsp;&nbsp; It was interesting because it was the material itself that caught my attention at the thrift.&nbsp; They had the top piece separate -- .99 and I was carrying it around with no idea of what it was because the material had me intrigued.&nbsp; Then I rounded the corner and found the rest of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is no question its been through the mill, no easy repair here, but enjoying learning about what is what.&nbsp; Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
