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!
Hopefully by then, all our gang will have gotten all the jades we want. Then at least they won't be fooling us.

Jade exquisite beauty makeup - Beware! Do not buy "pink heavy" Jade

绿色抛光粉,成份为重金属氧化物,有毒,加工时需佩戴防尘口罩
Green polishing powder, ingredients heavy metal oxides, toxic, processing time is required to wear a dust mask

翡翠抛光是用特制的抛光粉与翡翠进行摩擦。抛光粉将翡翠表面打磨得细腻平整,增加了翡翠表面对光线的反射能力,由此形成光洁莹润的光滑表面和玻璃光泽,提高光亮度,体现出翡翠的材质精美。
Jade polish is rubbed with a special polishing powder and jade. Polishing powder will be fine jade polished smooth surface, increasing the emerald surface reflectivity to light, thus forming a smooth shiny surface and smooth shiny glass, improving brightness, reflecting the exquisite jade material.

This is beautiful. It reminds me of the ocean. If I ever moved away from Hawaii, I'd want a jade piece like that to remind me of home.



You have the perfect kitchen! My husband would adore it, he's really good at cooking. Our kitchen space is so small. I don't cook, but I'm learning to bake and I would make such a mess of those counters!



I'm envious of everyone's beautiful violet jade and super envious of Mochi's awesomeness! He looks ready for Waikiki and fun!



:loveeyes:

They looks so much alike and they match so well! I love it!



Never apologize for posting pictures of jade! Yours is gorgeous. We never get tired of it. More, please!
Thank you dear jnp ;)
 
手镯上蓝绿色部分即为“粉重”
Blue-green part of the bracelet is "pink heavy" (means polishing with powder)

and also certify example,
鉴定证书上特殊测试一栏为粉重检测结果,粉过多的话鉴定机构不开据鉴定证书
Special certificate of authenticity test on a column test results for the powder weight, too much flour, then identification of bodies is not open, according to certificate of authenticity

NYC princess, what a gorgeous bangle! It's a very good price too. I don't think it's a crack, just a stone line. (cracks usually don't run diagonally that way. It looks internal.) That wouldn't bother me one bit if I loved the color, grain and translucence, but that's me. I really think it's gorgeous!

Junkempo, because of the lack of translucency, I don't think that bangle is a full B grade bangle. It might well be a spot treated A/B though. Keep in mind too that some jades hold polishes more than others depending on the % of actual jadeite in them. Jadeite is a mixture of different stones, with at least 80% pure jadeite. That leaves up to 20% other minerals, which can leave little pits after polishing. The B jade surface looks like a fine web of lines which connect up, like a net. Regardless, if you feel it's "off" somehow, then the best thing is to send it back.

Thanks Clairejune. The stone line doesn't really bother me. I know it would be a lot more expensive without it, and I do like the color :)
 
NYC princess, I really think it's gorgeous. Of course we all know I love blues, but that bangle is really luminous and the color is divine! Like a clear, light blue summer sky! Makes me think of Easter somehow.....
