Would someine please comment on a small (5.25cm) Bi disk that I purcsased a short while ago. I believe it to be genuinely old and would welcome any observations that people might have with regards to the possibility that it has been'aged.'

Impossible to say anything from such low resolution picture, except that is not a bi but a ring (huan). Clear picture with natural (white) light color would definitely help. I suspect it is not made of precious jade (Néphrite nor jadeite) but some other more common and softer mineral such as xiuyan jade (witch color goes from pale green to yellow)
