The pendant is exactly as described. Whether this is genuine jade, I cannot say. I did try the scratch test and it passed, it is translucent and cold to the touch but considering the price, I am skeptical. I think it's either a cheaper similar looking stone or actual jade but low quality and dyed and resin impregnated to hell and back. Still worth it for this price, it looks very nice. You have to lower your expectations all things considered. It also comes with a nice hanging wire and arrived very fast in my country
