The JADE thread!

[2boys_jademommy]

2 boys, now I wonder if all black hetian has a tint of green to it. ??

I don’t know...I believe there is black jadeite but with nephrite it’s a dark inky green that looks black. Maybe another Jadie will know.

Haha, me too though. I am hoping one bangle will satisfy me for a time, and that the eye candy in this thread will keep me going while I soak up ideas and info for a date in the far future, but... a small part of me is thinking I'll probably have another piece before the year is out. There are just too many pretty varieties out there, and each stone is unique.

I hear ya! I already have a little wishlist of bangles I'm on the hunt for. Hey, we're only still 3 months into the year, right? haha

Black jadeite - there is two type .

Black chicken variety . No green tones . Can have icy spots for better quality ones . And grayish to deep ebony black .

Omphacite - looks black but when light shines thru . It’s vivid green .


Nephrite -

Some hetian are very black but has a green tone . Like the deep inky green u says .

And then there’s nephrite like a Edwards black . That’s opaque . So black that u can’t see through at all . No green tones .

WOW! Bernie, those are all beautiful! The "yellow marmalade" colors in particular look so cheerful, a spot of sunshine on a gloomy, snowy/icy morning. The bangle and the beaded bracelet look fantastic together. Great view of the city, too. I didn't know about all the different types of black jade, either... I knew about omphacite, but not the "black chicken" variety.

Meanwhile I am wearing my humble new bangle and I absolutely adore it. Will share pictures, hopefully after the sun comes out? Though to be honest, it looks fabulous in artificial light, too.

Please share a picture in artificial light and day light! I'm always amazed how different Jadeite can look depending the light
