Hi all thanks for looking at my item thought it would be easier to just register on here and post directly forgot to mention that the hole is 2cm at the opening but that the opening is only 3mm wide and underneath the opening it is actually a wider hole so on the inside the hole is actually 2.6cm dia instead of the 2cm dia which it is as opening. I also believe going by what i have read online about difference between jade and soapstone is that this is jade due to being translucent under bright light but i still maybe wrong not being the expert but my other question is if its jade what sort of price in current condition could it be worth. Thanks
