Or how about sunset mist?

I agree with Cyanide Rose.... mind clean is just as important as having an untreated stone. I have returned and sold bangles I was less than happy about. The first, I was still new enough to jade that I just wasn't sure and then I wasn't happy with the overall polish. I returned it. The second, I was sure was grade A, and I wanted to love it... but it just never grew on me. I sold it.
Best to have bangles or a collection that make you truly happy.

TREMOLITE - fl. moderate pale blue SW; weak cream LW. Tremolite is a mineral of the limestone, found in gray, white, and pale green prismatic crystals with a flattened, diamond-shaped cross section. The form is usually enough to distinguish Tremolite from edenite and diopside

Will have to look in quality of uv lights too...I guess most of us have the uv led long wave approx 400 nm...
I want to be sure about this as this is important that we do the tests right & use suitable equipment as I know there are limitations...

Due to its dense structure, nephrites seldom receive dye treatments. However, they may still receive impregnations, bleaching, and heat treatments to improve color.
Found a sister thread with photos! WOW...greater appreciation...

It's great that all the informational & research stuff about it getting posted again. It's been awhile since we've had links going out like this. There has been a ton of great discussion in the older threads and reference threads. Sadly, some of the photo links are broken as various photohost sites go out of business or change their business model. We've added posters along the way, and there are always new members and the lurkers, too (hi folks!). I know I learned a ton from posters like jadeite, storm spirit, and clairejune, and I have lots of appreciation for the regular folk and OG pf'rs still posting.
I have most of the sister threads linked in my signature, but for those on mobile here's the link to them
Each link starts at the beginning of the thread, our current thread is the 4th incarnation of the Jade thread.

I am sorry for you, Camelot. But you will find another beauty soon!
Dingo, if you want a french name, what about " Brume rouge"?
Uli, your blue round jadeite donut matches my blue bangle. I was looking for a blue donut to match my blue bangle for so long and couldn't find one so I finally settled for a bluish green one. You are lucky to have that beautiful blue piece.
It is from Enijew, Silvermom! Maybe you can find a similar one there. 
Is your blue bangle from Allan, Silvermom? Can you show it again, please?
No Uli, it is jadeite from Alice. I will try to find it in my pictures. It might take awhile because I have a million pictures. LOL. Your blue donut is to die for.
FOUND IT! LOL Alice certified it for me by the GIA.
It looks much the same color as your donut. Do you think so too?
