Nice haul! Are those black stones walnuts?
Thanks and yep the black stones are either walnuts or Rudraksha beads carving! Funny thing is I wasn't planning to get this until I saw the listing say it was jadeite + amphibole/hornblende mixed together which was what sold it for me! I'd try to take more pics to capture the deep green veins it has but it's impossible so far. :P
Oh another note, I saw j3n mention about creating a jade thread for FB but can't seem to find it, so if any of you guys are already in it, mind shooting me an invite in the dms please!

Hereʻs my latest find!

Seller called it jade, but the specific gravity test shows it is at a 3.1 -- little bit lighter than jadeite, a little bit heavier than nephrite. This one is heavy and cool and chimes like jade. It was bigger than what I expected. Kind of a yellow-green in shade and a butter yellow during golden hour. So pretty! I love it. Iʻm putting it on a long chain so I can use it as a worry stone. I took it to the beach today to get it in some salt water. Iʻm not superstitious but Iʻm a little ʻstitious. haha

So cute! I’m on the hunt for a little animal worry stone like this. Wonder what he’s made of :)

I love birds! These rings are so cute. I hope you wear them often and in good health. I'd be staring at my hand all day, haha!
