Subject:Is this Chinese Jade?
Posted By: peter mackeonis Wed, Dec 21, 2016 IP: 108.64.245.165
Any help in identifying the origin of this bangle / bracelet would be greatly appreciated.

It measures 59mm by 13mm by 3mm and weighs 25 grams

Many thanks in advance for any help

No, It could be Turkestan Jade, Nephrite.
Make scratch test, with a strong needle, using just enough pressure to make a 2-3 mm scratch, Look at this tiny scratch and tell us if it is white or black. The we will be able to tell you which material it is.
