That's amazing that they are both from the same boulder even though not bought at the same time.

Absolutely gorgeous and glowing!
The bluey tint looks more obvious in certain lighting . In fact the oval was certified as “ near colorless “ at the gemologist lol . This type according to Ngi gemologist mandarin term is 晴水翡翠。
These jade sellers / bidders are rather smart . They usually would bid for the boulders if they calculate that good profit can be made . But not all of the Boulder will be cut for selling immediately .Some of it , is for keeps. Until the price of jade rises in future , so they make an even neater profit when the price appreciates .
Given the escalating situation involving the Junta in Myanmar now . Not as much jade is being exported out of the country now , exacerbated by worldwide covid situation as well. The demand for jadeite is still quite high. So price will continue to increase sharply.
Although I like the princess round . And it’s likely from the same remaining boulders she has , I feel that it isn’t as glassy as the oval I have . Usually the best batch will be cut first ( 货头，货中，货尾）. Probably the princess round is middle batch , but I m not complaining . It’s a tad more expensive than before too when I did a comparison .
So beautiful Bernie. Do you think the price of jade will come down later when the situation gets better?

No idea how long this is going to last … it also depends on the sellers too . Or if things get easier in Myanmar too.
If sellers bid & bought a lot of boulders when the price were better than now . They can decide whether to “cash it “ now by selling or keeping the $$$$ when it’s even more rare in future !
But you have amassed a very valuable collection. I imagine those might be very $$$ in future for the same quality and value . Lucky ya !
Thank you Bernie. You are the one that has an amazing collection. I would be thrilled to have any one of yours. Lucky ya! So happy that we can look at beautiful jade everyday on this thread. It is always more fun when you can share each others joys.
Good Day szu! Thank you so much ☺️ So sorry I missed this, yesterday was a crazy day. Today I get to be a bit lazy at home. It’s gonna feel so weird being home aloneGorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! What can I say... you have most beautiful nephrite bangles...
That and considering high quality jade is already becoming scarce way before the whole unfortunate military coup. They will only continue to rise in price so long the demand for it exists.
I wouldn't be surprised if it'll become as rare as Taaffeite later on!
Anyone a 52 and looking for bluish bangle?
Had to look that up... thatʻs a pretty purple!
Walk at the woods this morning .

I had to goggle . That’s so pretty and read that it’s pretty rare . Rarer than diamonds !
