The JADE thread!

[piosavsfan]

Awww, I remember you posting one similar from SC with a dark spot. Is that the one you are thinking of? Didn't see this one posted on the forum, but I only pop in every few days and may have missed it.

No, I posted both the one from SC and the one from antijade at about the same time because I was deciding which carved one I liked better. But that's okay, I was just sad when I got outbid at the last moment haha

Edit: it could be a different one, who knows. This was like from mid Sept.

You should post more pics of the carvings,I think they look really cool and the colors are nice.

Do the videos that gemtownusa has in their listings work for anyone?

It's a different one then cuz mine was bigger. Sorry about that. So since the specific gravity is lower than jadeite then what is it called? Seems deceitful for the seller to keep listing as jadeite.

NYC Princess, yes she is just a teeny noodle at the moment. They grown to 5 feet long and if you touch your fingertip to your thumb, that is how big round they get.

Nexiv, I love the little guy!! I've been wanting a new pet and he's just too cute. Are they hard to take care of?

Corn snakes are easy as pie to care for and very rewarding for the amount of effort that goes into meeting their needs. They need a heat mat regulated by a plug in thermostat, water, a hide, then you feed them once a week and clean up after them once a week. Most keep them in wooden or glass vivs, some keep them in plastic tubs with locking handles (really useful boxes). I keep mine in these until they are grown.
They're friendly, calm to handle and live for 20 years. Perfect pets for children And when you go on holiday you just turn their heat off, don't feed them and they're perfectly fine till you get back. Plus they come in a rainbow of colours and patterns! I have purple, pink, red, black & white, grey, striped, diffused and zany makings

This is got to be the easiest pet to care for and I love how they live such a good long life if taken care of. Thank you for letting me know!

I'd love to know what it's called too. Thinking it's Albite but not sure. It is a tad deceiving that it is listed as 100% jadeite. If it was treated I would have asked for a refund, but I'm happy that it is a tad lighter than 3.33 jadeite and I do like the waxy feel. You have to be careful on Ebay as there are many like these but treated though they list them as all jadeite. If anyone else would know what it would be called at 3.123 gravity, I'd love to know.

I bought the white with green splotch carved bangle from SC today. Can't wait to see it in person!

Also got this petrified wood princess, it will only be $2 after eBay bucks and I think it looks cool.

Wow!!!! I SAW 2 that I LIKE
I have never seen this seller.....I wish I had some extra ends to buy one of these, just to see what it looks like in person, how heavy it is, and so on....
I saved the seller to my profile since it seems I'm the queen buyer of jade with ebay lol....I always forget to look at etsy....they have so many pretty jades!

I recommend this seller. Gregory accepts best offers as long as reasonable. I had him custom make me an opal ring, an aquamarine ring, and also had him hunt down a maw sit sit bangle which I expect to get in a couple of weeks. Great guy

 

[annetok]

i was looking at that seller the other day actually! How funny. That's good to know someone has purchased from them happily.






I actually foun the post when you first introduced her yesterday
And it was from lurking here for several months, reading about everyone's experiences and their love for jade. I started learning more about it and the uniqueness of :each piece and how they're all so personal really captured me. And then I knew I needed my own





It's a nightmare holding my corns whilst I'm wearing jewellery actually, because they just attach themselves to it and start coiling through it all lol.

I tried to get some action shots of Erynome (also known as Nommy Noo) being a bangle, but she was insistent on being a between the fingers ring instead

I'll try and get a shot of my big boy Bats later, as he'd be my very own "lavender bangle"

Oh my didn't know snakes could be so cute!

love the stormy grain!

very nice coloring on the wood princess. I'd love to know how it feels on the wrist compared to jade when you get it! And I can't wait to see the white/green from SC, too. It's so exciting waiting for new things.

Hello! Yesterday I received my carved bangle which was described as 100% jadeite not enhancement of any kind. When she arrived she felt much lighter than jadeite so I did a quick gravity test which came out as 3.123. So I contacted the seller to ask about it and was told that she has lots of crystals (Albite?) in her which gives her a much less quality polish, and a much lighter feel. I'm happy the seller was honest. I'm also very happy that she is much lighter than my jadeite bangles and I can wear her with ease. She feels very smooth and waxy. No bats, but butterfly, lotus and dragon carvings. She has lovely greens coming out of her but I can't seem to catch them with my camera.

Great carvings, reminds me of a more gray version of my black carved. I never thought to check SG on it. I always put "lighter" down to the fact that it's a D and thinner than a regular bangle.

so cute! Snakes (and hamsters) are not allowed in the state where i live. I don't think I'd mind a pet like this, though.

I bought these (they accepted best offer ) - the 8mm mala - as they were more beads for the money and I can knot them myself. Hope they are as nice as pictured!

Great green!
