oh my goodness!! those are really yummy looking!!!! I'm just drooling over the translucency on the grayish/blue/green one on your wrist! But that lavender one is also just beautiful!!!!!!
Thank you so much ms_loKAbLue13. I love all of them no matter the price. Love your sharing about healing properties of jade. Will lookout for yellow and black ones next.
 
So interesting to read about the properties of black jade. Maybe i should look out for one too haha. Does the jade has to be full black? I saw some nice ones. But it is not full black.
I've seen black jades like those too, and I think having it full black without it being omphacite is pretty rare since there can only be so much iron content inside the jade to have full coverage of black. So I would imagine it would be rare to find a black jadeite that is full black.

It is possible to have full black if it is nephrite. I will post my nephrite black set. The green and black bangle is Jadeite. The pure black set is nephrite.

I’ve always wanted a black nephrite but they seem rare and expensive to get especially the Wyoming type.
This set is the Edward's Black Wyoming. Do you know Allan Spehar? He is so awesome. He made this for me. I told him what I wanted and the genius that he is, he made it exactly how I wanted. I love him. He could definitely make you something if you wanted. Let me know if you need info on him.
 
Loving all the black jade love.

Silver Mom, your sets are always so gorgeous! One day, I'm hoping to get an edwards black bangle, too. I'm thinking maybe earrings, too.

For those of you looking for smaller bits, I just picked up some black jadeite beads from gojade. They aren't very symmetrical, but they are nice for the price. I wanted to string them on a necklace & get some hoops to decorate.

I bought my black jadeite bangle this year from JadeiteRoom on Etsy. Such a reasonable price then. Can check out if she has any left
I've heard and seen of JadeiteRoom and I'm currently eyeing her flower shaped jadeite and lavender jade beads she has currently! She has some neat items despite some of her items being way out of my budget currently. :P

The seller that i buys from has full black jadeite bangles too and is much cheaper than the bangle in the first photo with icy patches . If im getting anymore new bangles from him i would prefer to meet him in person to check them out after the circuit breaker in my country is over. Easier to see if the black bangle is glossy and smooth irl.
