Botryoidal Nephrite?

[kikinit247]

I found these two stones about 10 feet apart in an area within 5 miles of a known nephrite location. Both of these stones withstood a scratch test with my knife tip. I am looking for my hanging scales to test specific gravity. Are there any other tests that can be conducted at home to verify whether or not a stone is in fact jade? What do you think does this look like jade?

Sure looks like BC Jade to me. Nice rock!
what part of Washington State do you live in?

Update: I found my scales and calculated the specific gravity to be 3.07.

Mr. Magoo-I am in the northwest corner of Washington state.

Correction:

Stone 1-Specific Gravity 3.9

Anyone have any ideas what this could be? I am at a loss. It would seem the specific gravity is too high to be Nephrite.

Stone 2 had a specific gravity of 3.07.
