Does this look like untreated jadeite?

Pretty, it's got that faint lavender cast to it...and a decent amount of translucency. I'm curious about that line of stronger purple on the edge closest to the viewer: it's making me wonder if this is camera illusion, or if it is treatment/color polish. I'd want more pics from different angles. This kind of bangle I would want to be able to see, touch, and hear in person before I made a decision. I'd want to feel the weight & coolness and be able to return it if I had any doubts in person.
 
I added snow to the bangle collection 😍 haven't had time to take the photo of all together. Still waiting for a green princess i got from eBay after that I will stop adding to the collection for now. I love them all still haven't decided which one is my permanent one keep switching between them.

Beautiful collection! You have a great variety of shapes and colors!

I love having one bangle on permanently. I actually had Smoke for a year before deciding to wear her 24/7. And I have one I never wear tucked away with the intention of putting her on permanently when I'm 60. I'll have to stop stacking and start passing on my collection then. I hope DS marries well and has at least one girl. lol

Beautiful collection Red! I like the bottom three on the right hand column best with Confetti being my favourite in mine of yours :)
 
Hello all, it's been awhile busy with work and selling our house. So much to catch-up on...love it. Love all the jade people are posting. I am thinking about bidding on a fish pendant from GoJade. Do people have any suggestions on what % of EBay price I should make an offer for? I haven't figured out how to post pics otherwise I would post a pic of the pendant. Thanks.

So pretty!! All of them!

That's a stunner!!! Are you contemplating it? :D
I am thinking about.

Here are some more pictures. The seller said that it is natural and not dyed, but they don't have a certificate to guarantee that it is grade A. The auction is starting out low so if it stays that way I may buy it, but it is coming from Thailand which I don't like because it takes forever!

Today's jade: Blue Ridge on left and Lotus on right (so named for the lotus root and fish carving) ☺ Love how all the colors and carvings of different bangles bring to mind soothing scenes of nature.

Busy day at work today for me but still manage to pop in ....Lots Love and Crosso your bangles are beautiful.
Piosavsfan - it's a pretty bangle but I know making the leap to buy can be a process. If someone else bids higher and gets it or you miss the opportunity for whatever reason would you feel regret.....do you love everything about this bangle.....

I don't love everything about it, but I do think it is pretty. I think I'm finding too many bangles that I find pretty and affordable and perhaps I should wait and save money for one that I feel is amazing but more expensive.
