I asked how it was represented when sold to you and the specifics of the sale because that can be very telling.
Your new pictures are still pictures. They do not aid in positive identification. There is a possibility it is jade and there is a possibility it is not.
Your unknown must be seen in person by someone who is either an expert on jade or a gemologist with ability to identify your unknown using optical tests.
