Q: A photograph or drawing of the effect you want to capture
A: Artifacts made of jade (see below)

Q: A short description of techniques you intend to use to solve it?
A: Rendering technique for subsurface scattering. I hope to apply the technique on models such as Stanford Dragon or Budda so that they are rendered as having appearance of green jade.

Q: References to relevant research papers on your solution technique
