Nephrite Jade Carved Buddha What is it worth?

[Roger Mn.]

I found this 3 or 4 years ago while metal detecting by the creek.
I did a specific gravity test 600 weight in the air and 400 weight in water and it came out 3.00 and Nephrite is 2.98-3.33 g/cc .
I watched a video that showed Myanmar had a big Jade sale and sold 2 Buddhas around the same size as this one for $10,000.00 and now i cant find the video.
Any one know anything about Jade.

That's a beautiful find. I can't tell you the value, sorry

It is carved in the Thai style, so IMHO it's probable it comes from S. Asia origin. (Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, etc.)

I've seen modern similar ones for retail at around $100-$200. I'd love to find something like that.

Good luck!
