Thank you ladies for indulging my humble bangle. Have too many expensive tastes to pick up a new hobby!! Just one more "proper" lavender/violet bangle.
Faithgrace, yes you are right, there is a stone line. Guessing it would be much more exp without.
I read some of you mention stone lines might disappear with wear? How's that work?
Okay ladies, I took my photos. The seller is gojade on e_bay.
Here is the bangle. I liked the color and liked the spot and it seemed like they had okay feedback, except for things being cracked or broken or not quite what was pictured.
It's thinner than I had thought it would be and lighter, even for the size. Just touching it feels different. Not quite fuzzy, but when you run your fingernail over it, you feel the little cracks, etc. My other jade feels smoother, more glassy except where there are actual surface flaws.
When you look at the surface, it is easy to see lines/pits all over the surface of the bangle, inside and out. The chime sounds duller and shorter.
So I louped with my 10x loupe plus camera phone.
Zoom.
This one is going back to the vendor.

Stone veins it smooth and not scatchy, stone veins is mother natural made, it ok to have it ... it won't impact bangle hardness, just some ppls don't like stone vein vs other dont mind about stone vein, if u love the bangle NYCP don't worry about the stone veins ... lovely bangle .. i love the icy and watery look ..

clairejune,
I didn't realize if Emerald have similar color with Violet and Peaches until today when I take the pictures all three together.
I love lavender and if I find more lavender I will get more but right now I'm looking for this white/honey color bangle pair with the earings, what do you think?

Faithgrace, thanks for posting those images. The bangle that is light green does look like B jade a bit though because of that gelatinous interior and glow. B bangles really have a strange glow sometimes. Admittedly they are getting better and better at making them look real. The test really comes when one holds one next to an A grade. You can tell through the shine, the surface, the weight, and the "dead look" that something is off, at least in my experience. Of course, there is the coldness, and the chime. sigh...we all have to be so careful these days! Soon they will have perfected the art of fooling customers!
Thank You Dear NYC Princess!Beautiful!! Lavender goes with CNY just as well as red
That is a really good price even with the vein line. It wouldn't bother me because nothing is perfect and that is a really good price.
