Steel, gold, enamel, rubies (or spinels), emeralds (or beryls), sapphires, nephrite
I’m trying to figure out the handle. It sort of looks like milky quartz, or… maybe just a 3D-printed piece. :P
Likely white nephrite.
Nephrite can be found in a translucent white to very light yellow form which is known in China as mutton fat jade, in an opaque white to very light brown or gray which is known as chicken bone jade,[1] as well as in a variety of green colors.
Thanks! I’m afraid I’m still stuck in that amateurish mentality where one imagines various gems & minerals strictly looking like certain colors.
