Some jade has included magnetite crystals which makes it mildly magnetic. Porterville jade from California sometimes falls in that category....Mel

Jade is fairly hard and tough too. carves well but not, I think easily. You could have serpentine which is softer but still has magnetite inclusions.....Mel

I do not know where you found it...but on the softer side, with ferrous content...I would suggest it is a gemmy serpentine....
