That is a very good quality nephrite. The color and texture actually resemble jadeite a bit.

Hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone has any experience in this.
My dragon and phoenix bangle were both sold to me as Burmese jadeite. However, the color and inclusions found in it match up more to Guatemalan jadeite. For example, none of my other bangles have this snow flake like inclusion, as pictured below
It’s got snowflake like inclusions all over, but in the sun they look darker. In normal light, they’re white.
As can be seen above, it’s got white spots all over.
Does Burmese jadeite Jade come with this type of coloring?
I don’t mind if it’s Burmese or jadeite, I just didn’t know Burmese jadeite came in this specific color.

This particular tone of blue does look a lot like Guatemalan jadeite. Usually blue Burmese jade is either very pale and translucent or has bluish steaks sharply contrasted against a paler background. That's just what I've seen though, the others might have a different opinion. Regardless, it's a beautiful piece
Here are my jade pieces. I also have a little gourd pendant that I received as a teen stored away with my other jewelry. I need take it out.. it has not been worn nor seen light for 20 years! That one actually turned colour when I wore it. It went from a light green to a bright green. Took about a year or so. I'll eventually take it out of storage to show you guys.
The two pictured are my next test for colour change. I wear these every day. So far they appear more shiny and the pendant may look slightly darker (the side that touches the skin). I will continue to report my findings
All my jade were gifts, so I'm very excited that I finally got to choose the next pieces. Still waiting for the two bangles.. one is arriving mid this week.View attachment 5733069
GORGEOUS GORGEOUS GORGEOUS!
You all have inspired me to pull out and wear my jade again. Here’s some I wore this week. Couldn’t get the lighting right but oh well. Thanks for letting me share!
Why thank you
Sooo pretty! I assume you would wear them altogether? It such a great set
Oh yes I wear as a set ... most of the time I wear a ring and bracelet, and pendant is added sometimes. Have earrings but don't wear because my hair style covers them so no one would even see them.Why thank you

Thank you so very much. I really love jade in all colors but my fav is any level of lavender.
My bangle has arrived and I love it. Debating if I want to wear it on the left or right side of my Apple Watch. I can slip this on and off slowly without soap/water so I think I should be okay with the pregnancy swelling.
Very happy as I’ve been recently given this super slim hetian jade bangle, something I’ve been looking for for quite some time. Here it is, stacked with bluewater jade, turquoise and a bit of gold. Thanks for letting me share.
Please don't feel bad! Both my Burmese blue-green bangles have these white inclusions which are called slowflakes. Looks just like yours except mine aren't carved. Please feel happy that you have a Burmese blue-green bangle
