I still have some doubts about this bangle.
I compared this bangle with my Burma jade bangle I bought in Yuannan Jade Store 15 years ago. It feels very cold and similar sound when I use a string to hold them and use one jade bangle to hit another. It seems this bangle's sound is almost as high and clear as the Burma jade bangle. I scratched a bit of jade on the smooth inner circumference of the bangle with a sharp knife. Some powder came off, but after removing it, the jade still feels smooth without leaving any dent or mark on it. It appears to me it is not made of glass, is it possible it is made of a soft semi transparent jade? Of course, I will do SG test. For the moment, I just compare the weight of two jade bangle, they feel similar heavy. Now I post another picture under light. I don't know if it shows better, but its color is quite similar to the real color of this bangle. As you know pix can vary for some reason.
Thanks,
May
