Dear Pin,

You will know it is Jet when you handle it. It should be smooth, light weight and feels something like charcoal.

If this is heavy then It could be a black hardstone that is still unknown. There is a group of these which previously were classified as Black Jade but now described as hardstone.

Cheers,
YT
