Found a bargain bangle I decided to take a chance on. Seller listed it as nephrite, butI don't think it is. Specific gravity is 3.31 and it has a nice chime. Does nephrite have the same chime as jadeite? I only have a few, but I don't think they sound like this and looking closely, this seems to have more of a jadeite stone structure, but I'm not a nephrite expert. Opinions, anyone?

Regardless, I really like it! It's heavy (96 grams) and FAT (13mm).

Oops for some reason my post didn't post lol! Your new bangle Crosso is stunning!! If I were to guess between jadeite or nephrite I would guess jadeite due to the colour and general look of it. I love the chubbiness of it. It looks great on your beautiful slim wrists - sorry if that sounded weird lol!
I also love the soft colours in it - green, lavender and a bit of yellow I think right
