What Do You Think of This Piece? Chinese Red Jade Pendant?

This Pendant is available through a local on line auction. I thought it looked unusual and was interested in knowing more about it.

It's described as a Chinese Red Jade Pendant. No measurements are given (natch) but it looks fairly large. That's a woman's hand in the photo. This is the description verbiage:

"Beautiful Chinese round red jade jasper and white quartz stone pendant with silver-tone metal mounts, applied panther and butterfly motifs, and hanging bail."

So is it quartz or jade? The consigner called it Chicken Blood Stone. I won't be bidding on it because it looks too big and cumbersome to wear. But still curious about it.

Any thoughts?

 

Good. These pendants are a dime a dozen. They also come in a stone that resembles green jade. I have never had one in my hand, but given the fact that the metal is base metal, the stone may not be jade.

Chicken blood stone is generally not used for jewellery because it can be fragile.

"Although the quartz content has a high hardness of 7, clay and cinnabar have very low hardness (2-2.5). This variation makes working with this material quite challenging for lapidary artists."
