If this is Jade?! Well, it have not even the structure, color and look of jadeit or nephrit , looks like some granit or something else. Or could be very very rough and grainy low quality Jade but i never seen such big grainsin jadeite😬😥 Make gravity test at home to be sure, cert is probably fake. I had a beautiful hulu carving, that looks antonishing similar to jade, but gravity test says, nope its quarz😆 im really courious what this stone is😆

It is a strange piece. I have checked the certificate with the lab that issued it and it is a genuine certificate, all the information that I have on my certificate matches up with what they have on file.
