Thank you DG for sharing what you learned. So does that mean that black nephrite can show florescence but still be natural and untreated?

Your welcome! I am not an expert but according to the seller it can. I wouldn't think much nephrite would be treated to begin with but who knows whats out there
Thank you!! I'm quite pleased with my purple fix which I didn't have to pay an arm and leg for!
I guess it depends how much you paid for it and whether you think it is worth getting tested. If it's not too dear, maybe just love it for how it looks and set the question aside.
Ahh... I wish clairejune was still here and posting regularly. I bet she would know a logical answer to the fluorescing. Is it the whole bangle glowing, or just spots? If it is just spots, I wonder if it is the wax that's fluorescing or maybe some minerals that are mixed into the nephrite?
my amethyst finally arrived today. i shd have choose the 56mm instead. this one is a little too big, but i still love it.
It looks great Fan! I love the purple and the patterns within the stone. It doesn't seem too big in this pic- what size it this? Are you able to exchange for the 56 mm? There is a shop in Barefoot Landing, Myrtle Beach which sold dif kinds of rocks and jewellery made of stones and I saw a lot of amethyst. No bangles but they had earrings and pendants.
Both your amethyst bangle and NYC's Ametrine are gorgeous alternatives to lavender jade. More of a purple punch
Very nice! The color is so intense. I don't think it looks too big either but as 2boys said, can you exchange it?
Your right! I think I will just accept and enjoy wearing her. It is not worth the effort to getting it certified again to me. No matter, I think she is beautiful!
Here she is paired with ******* today
I know where is Claire! There are only spots glowing, not the entire bangle. It could well be indeed other minerals mixed in with the nephrite but still be considered nephrite. It actually looks kind of cool with the spots glowing and I can see the areas of where it would glow in bright light.
Nice fano! So vivid in purple color - like candy! I think it looks beautiful on you and perfect paired with your other bangle

Hehe thank you, love your analogy! You maybe right, maybe she is a boyI think your bangle is beautiful too and looks great paired with Cossette - like a big strong handsome man beside the prettiest girl lol!
Haha not sure if it's "a boy" but no denying this bangle has a very strong presence. It contrasts beautiful with Cossette.Hehe thank you, love your analogy! You maybe right, maybe she is a boy
Allan has emailed me and my bangle is complete! Not sure how long shipping will take but will post pics when I get it
A couple of sad news today...
I filed a paypal claim to get my money back from 9SJW since it has been over two months, still no estimate of when they will ship, and they stopped responding to me. Their work looks beautiful but I'm way too frustrated by the transaction to look forward to having this bangle. I would rather buy something else with the money such as a pretty purple bangle like fanofjadeite's amethyst!! It is gorgeous!!
Allan started working on my bangle but it had a crack and broke.
I'm waiting to hear back if he still has more of the same shade of Turkish Lavender because I really like the color. Here are the pics he sent me.

Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry to hear that piosavsfan [emoji17] It's a shame that they haven't gotten back to you. Wow! I'm sure Allan hated to have that happen. So sorry piosavsfan.
