Nanmu86, your carving is NEPHRITE. I'm quite convinced.

Thank you for your suggestions. I'm still thinking to use GIA service or not. I'm also searching to buy a refractometer to do the RI test by myself and for some later collective cases. The local gemmologist just help by looking quick and use light & UV to check and reply, if I want to do more detail tests, it usually cost a fee, not free. So I don't dare to bother them.

@ glhays
Bro, I'm no need to be hasty. Honestly, your state was not a fact, it is just a part of a fact. A fact in here (agate or nephrite jade) must include some/many aspects (color, texture, inclusion, vein/line on the surface, fracture, hardness, SG, RI,..etc.)

Generally, in this "Beginners Only!" section, a newbie (like me) only posted some strange mineral/stone pictures to ask for help identifying an item with the hope that many experienced experts will give the suitable/proper suggestions about an item. Because the newbie can't do the right/scientific tests or have proper instruments to do tests.

That is my opinion. I'm sorry if it make you don't be happy. Our debatement should end in here. Thank you!

I believe everyone here has helped you as best they can. I have no feelings in this and there is not a debate. The debate is in your own thoughts.
Now as you have been told numerous times in your question (is this seal a real nephrite jade?). Get it properly tested and documented.
