I got me a nephrite bangle, the seller said it is green Hetian Jade (just not the top quality one, as seen in the black dots present in the nephrite). I noticed that it appears to have "snow" in it, some whitish areas, which actually display chatoyancy, though not like cats eye. it's so unique and I've fallen in love with it.

They look beautiful - amazing pop of green JKP and I would think they are grade A. I love the backing style. I remember my mom used to have a pair of earrings like that. They kinds "screw" on right? Your earrings look happy together in this box :)

Here is a pic of the raw stone Allan will be using for my bangle. He is not sure where he will cut and as you can see there are great colour variations within the stone so it will be a "surprise" in terms of how this will turn out. I'm so excited!

I can see why you love it so much. Its so unique with the color layout and the way the light reflects the colors. Congrats!

Wow, you must be so excited! The raw stone is TDF and I can only imagine how it will turn out once polished! I wonder if he will add some of that root-beer crust into it?

Thanks Uli and DG :)
I think he will be adding some of the root beer crust - I hope so anyway. I would love to have different aspects of the stone captured in the bangle.
Thanks for clarifying what WA stood for - I should have know lol! I think I have an idea of what that stone looks like - it's a bluish granite grey with lighter and darker bits in there right? It will be beautiful I'm sure.
