It is jadeite and believe it is a pixiu, a mythical animal in Chinese art. I could be wrong about that part though. Others can chime in who may know more about the carving. Pretty colors!

Sorry, but I have one more question is you know. on the bottom it has a diamond/star like shape and I was wondering if it is the makers mark or a symbol to the Chinese culture?

Thank you again

Oh, I believe that could well also be a lucky toad, often pictured with a coin, which is on the bottom. I believe it is placed in a special position in the house.

You're right it's a pixiu and the mark resemble a coin.
