Allan's new princess round just ready, wowwww, they are super stunning,
@@ more i look at it, more i want one too .. oppsss, smell trouble ..
https://www.facebook.com/allan.spehar
A quote from allan's "Making a princess style bangle by hand is just too difficult and time consuming. Most bangle makers have tools to assist in the rounds. Came out nice but my hands are tired. I think I'm going to tool up for these."

Yaaa learn important about jadeite re-polishing from Allan

my qustion:
i have many jadeite bangles have tons pores, and thinking about getting them re-polish, i wonder what i can buy some tool, and do it myself, maybe that will save me some money lol .. any ideas Allan?


Allan Spehar:" Jadeite is a tough one. The problem is jadeite is basically compacted crystals that are kind of interwoven. The higher grade the material the smaller the crystal size. To properly work jadeite you have to remove a lot of the material with fine grit of diamond or silicon carbide. If you don't, which is typical, the heavier grit kind of fractures the surface and some of the crystals pop out and leave what you are seeing as pores. In order to remove them, you would have to remove a lot of the material and change the size with it. Working stone can be very frustrating and very rewarding but takes time. : ) Look on the bright side, you know your bangles have not been treated. A lot of jadeite is impregnated with resin so you don't see this."

This should be the jasper(i think look like Allan yukon snow bangle?) ,
the price at 10000-15000yuan USD around 2.5k on year 2014
the pics below just bit cleaner looking jasper, no black spots maybe that why more expensive :)
However i think Allan's yk snow bangle are much prettier. :heart:
pics and price from this link http://www.zbzixun.com/member/reDoc.jspx?consultId=16765
I just wanted to clear up that Jasper is NOT Nephrite. That material is a member of the quartz family and un related to Nephrite or the Yukon Snow bangles.

That Jasper is expensive because it is extremely good quality but it is not the same as Nephrite Jade.
 
what is jasper?
Jasper, a form of chalcedony,[1] is an opaque,[2] impure variety of silica, usually red, yellow, brown or green in color; and rarely blue.
The specific gravity of jasper is typically 2.5 to 2.9.
Jasper often contains organic material and mineral oxides which give it interesting patterns, bands and colors. Its hardness ranges from 6.5-7 on the Moh's scale and was a favorite gem in ancient times.
Jasper is one of the many gemstone varieties of quartz.

Some Jasper bangle look alot like Nephrite (Biyu) bangle, but Japser is NOT nephrite Jade. :)


some FALSE NAMES
Many translucent to opaque greenish stones have been given a trade name of "Jade" with some sort of prefix. The list below describes some commonly seen names, though there are no doubt many more with some made up by individual dealers.
Amazon Jade - Green Amazonite.
Australian Jade - Green Quartz such as Aventurine.
Colorado Jade - Green Amazonite.
Indian Jade - Green Quartz such as Aventurine.
Jasper Jade - Jasper with a greenish color.
Korean Jade - Any Jade simulant, especially Green Quartz such as Aventurine.
Oregon Jade - Jasper with a greenish color that originates in Oregon.

African Jade, Garnet Jade, South African Jade, Transvaal Jade - Massive veins of opaque Hydrogrossular Garnet that resembles Jade. It is white to light green in color, and may be colored in a white, green, and pink combination. - See more at: http://www.minerals.net/gemstone/jade_gemstone.aspx#sthash.DOjZUsQP.dpuf

few pics of Jasper :)
a lot seller does mention jasper jade, i think in china we translate jasper as (biyu> green color ) @@
so when i type Jasper in google translate >> bi yu (碧玉)
please don't mistake Jasper as jade. because Jasper is one of the many gemstone varieties of quartz.
