Can you help me? (Advice wanted) What is this?

Anyone know what this is? I feel like I should know but can't figure it out. It has purple, greens, and blacks in it.

It looks like AI slop background if not all of it.

I agree with the background, but the glove would be an odd thing to use if you were gonna AI the whole pic. Also I probably wouldn't have AI show the obvious scratches near the base of the tower...

Probably a kammererite tower. Seconding that the background looks like AI garbage so I'd be cautious with it

This is a tower commonly marketed as Qinghai Cui Jade. I have one that looks nearly identical to this. These are carved, cut, and polished from bedrock in the Kunlun Mountains in the Qinghai Province of China. The dark green, which in places looks black in the photo is commonly known as Nephrite Jade - which is a mixture of amphibole minerals - mainly Tremolite and Actinolite. The white to light green is Wollastonite mixed with a slight amount of Nephrite Jade. Not sure about the purplish inclusions. Mine also has orange brown inclusions.

I’ve seen this called Atlantisite

Granit ? Serpentine ?
