I named it that because my wife is Chinese and she bought it at a Chinese vase store.

A little bigger than a golf ball, feels like heavy, solid, slightly porous stone, not polished, and sits on a little wood-appearing plastic pedestal.
(I'd like to draw faint moon features on it.)

In daylight it has a very faint yellow-greenish hue.
Take it into a dark closet and it is dimly glowing!

Went to bed at 2230. Awakened at 0340 for an emergency blood transport and it was still faintly glowing!
Any radioactivity??

Does not appear to be artificially made.
Any ideas of what this is?

Thank you.
