I recently picked this rock up at a local rock club event. The dark area is dark green, with some translucency. I thought it might be nephrite jade, but its specific gravity tested at 2.8. I applied a steel knife to it, and it seems like it can't be scratched in most places except some of the white parts. Any idea what it might be? One photo is dry, and the other wet.
