I did not realize she had a sale, probably a good thing
, pics please 
would love to see what you got!Beadweaver, the black Australian jade is divine. It looks positively superb on you in combination with the sparkly gold and diamond bracelets
Is it nephrite? From the pic it looks truly all black and not gray / green. Very lovely indeed!
Can't wait to see what you got
Thanks so much for posting! I went onto Etsy straightaway and bought a couple of my favourites Should be here on Friday I did not realize she had a sale, probably a good thing
The sale is still on - it's not too late to get something!
Which store is this?Went to one of my favorite local jade shops in the Manhattan Chinatown and got a couple of jades that I currently have one stashed somewhere. But the salewoman who we've grown very friendly for only 2 visits has recommend that I get this icy eggplant purple Guanyin jade for a price that's almost equivalent to a Google Pixelbook lol (and that's with a discount too!)
Thoughts on it? I'm saving my money for it and may get it for my mother secretly.

Can't wait to see what you got, as well! I think this is the most significant discount I recall her having in a while.Can't wait to see what you got

I’m not very sure if I can say the store name here but if not then I won’t mind the mods removing this post. The store is actually a variety of jewelry stores put into one, so the one I go to is named AAA Jade Jewelry or at least somewhere really close to that name.
It’s also where I got my large Bi pendant and Moss-in-Snow beaded bracelet from. Honestly the problems I can see is their prices being quite high end, and that some jades may not be polished well enough; causing pits and small scratches to be revealed if you look closely or feel with your fingernail (if you’re nitpicky about it). Otherwise the saleswoman is friendly and swears by her word that her jades are grade A or your money back (and she does specialized orders/custom orders.)
This isn’t a biased review even though it seems like it I swear!

Happy weekend, everyone! Here is the white and light green jadeite bangle I was wearing before my UJ goodies arrived. Ironically it’s also from UJ and I was wearing it when I was ordering my UJ goodies - I had just changed into it from my square bangle which I’d worn for 6.5 weeks as I felt I was getting careless with that one

My goodies from UJ arrived yesterday as expected. As it’s 30% off for orders above US$1,000, based on what I chose, it’s like getting a 2nd bangle for free and a bit more I mentioned somewhere earlier in this thread that my next bangles would have flowery patterns and that has happened. Here is the tri-coloured one (though I think I see 4 colours)

It's lovely. I was eyeing one icy one and it got sold, poof! Now, deciding between a lavender (already have one from UJ) so maybe the bright honey one.
Hi! Does anyone know what is really meant when a seller talks about "stone lines"?
"Stone lines" are technically fractures in the stone, right? As I understand, some get healed naturally, which causes a coloured line (ie. "vein"), while others don't heal and are known as "stone lines"? Some can be seen within the bangle, but doesn't reach the surface of the bangle, while others do reach the surface, which is why you might feel it with your finger nail? Is my understanding correct?

Yes except some healed stone lines aren’t always colored in and will just be noticeable at most. Now stone lines that are on the surface is something you definitely should be wary of as it can cause a fracture on a surfacing stone line if smacked in a right angle and force.
So basically, stone lines are what majority of the jade community would consider a “flaw”, including inclusions (dark spots F.E.), cloudiness/white patchiness, uneven color distributions (more of an opinion rather than a fact), and cracks (and dendrites if we include Nephrite in here).
