Appendix: Scientific Identification of Nephrite Jade
For those interested in the scientific aspect, here are the measurements I conducted to confirm the identity of this piece as nephrite jade.
I utilized the hydrostatic method to measure the Specific Gravity, resulting in a value of 2.94 (22.92/7.79). The hardness reading from my Thermal Conductivity Hardness tester falls within the range of 6 and 7.
Both of these physical quantities align closely with the characteristics expected for nephrite jade.
