This nephrite jade looks vividly green and stands up to the most pricey jadeite as far as feeling good on the wrist. It rapidly becomes a "friend" and gives a deep inner assurance of protection and closeness. After trying scores of jadeite bangles (and spending a small fortune) I can say the Jade Mine's material is the most comforting. Hard to explain as it is a subjective experience, but I can at least offer my humble experience as testimony. This jade looks stunning and feels deeply satisfying. Keep the shine up by rubbing on the carpet when you do exercises. It works.
