I am posting the piece for a friend, who bought this piece from a church. I know nothing about it, it looks like a decoration item, made of jade, agate , and quartz...

the question is what it could be? made from where?

Any inputs are welcome.

Steven

Hi Steven,

It looks like a stone flower arrangement. These were popular in Europe around 40 years ago, and they are still seen in shops occasionally, especially ones that sell ornamental rocks and minerals.

Sorry I can't be of more help.
