Here is another from a group of Asian items donated to our charity.  It measures about 5 inches tall.  Any help with discription / age would be helpful.  I believe it is made of stone.

It is very hard and cold to the touch.  Is there a way that I can test/Identify if it is jade?

jade is hard,compact and poor conductor of heat,hence cold.

jade is harder than a stainless steel knife,if you scratch it ,it would not scratch,make surei t is a real stainless steel,take  a swiss knife .

some chinese stainless steel has carbon in it,not like the swiss one.

but then there are other stones which are harder than steel,like ruby ,diamond and saphire

Put lime in the coconut and call me in the morning !
