When purchasing online, note that seller photos may be different than how the jade looks in real life. Lavender jades often photograph more purple than the eye perceives and some sellers use spot lights or photo-manipulation software to make jade look nicer. It is important to ask sellers to detail flaws such as internal or visible and surface-reaching stone veins, or cotton, fissures, nicks, chips, as well as to describe how the colors look to the eye. Photographs in different lighting situations including outdoor light and in the hand or on the wrist can help buyers avoid disappoint.
Here is a few of the seller's photos of my Smoke:
