Also.. the bamboo carved bangles here got me wanting a similar one for me... I couldn't find any jade ones in my size, but saw an agate bangle in etsy I liked, but seller was asking a lot. I decided to check alibaba and found a seller in China that looked to be selling the same thing. Here's a pic (there are more in the semi-precious stone thread). I haven't check SG or floresecne at all. Does agate get treated like jade does? I know they do enhance for color, but this one is very pale, which I really like.... with only a slight peach cast to it.

It's beautiful!!!! I love it!!! So smooth!!! And YES!! Agate does get treated and SOME TIMES the color starts coming off very quickly and easily!!!!! My husband got me a really pretty agate and in no time it started coming right off!! I would stick with a white or very light color for sure...I know I learned that lesson the hard way!
Thanks jadies for the comps and comments on Lila - I'm so excited! 😄

Thank you for the comps ladies! going broke with this jade addiction! I'm looking out for one which has higher translucency next but at the same time i'm not sure if i can find one that i can afford. Saw beautiful one on Ultimate Jadeite's facebook previously, but it cost like 6 figures!
2 jade - my fav is the lavender one, still have a soft spot for lavender bangles
Annetok - speaking of the green spot one. I really like its colours but was disappointed with this purchase. gegedesigns measured the inner diameter wrongly on her website. it was advertised as 55mm, but based on my rough measurement, it's not more than 53mm. It was too beautiful to be returned so I gave it to my elder daughter
Lots love - the black one has white mottled patches amongst the black, I recall that you may have something similar to this.

I love that name! It is my little nephews name![]()
I love your bangle too!!. It looks a lot like mine which I just call "blue" after my own name (it's my middle name....my sister gave part of my name to her son, hence his name BlueSky Stone...)
