Very finely carved, but not jade... Soapstone!

Well spotted Kyra - would never have said Soapstone.
All good... they were wrapped in paper n in a box... I like em... mite just put them in a bathroom as part of the tile for that Look.. glass blocks and Slate with some porcelain tile and these... nice ambiance.
Oh! That would be a great idea :-))
