No sparkle in the stone would that matter?

The color in the pics and semi transparent stones kind of threw me, but after looking at a bunch on line, I withdraw my statement. It is a very nice bracelet!

Very nice Jade. Hold a flash light to it in dark room, it should shine right thrugh it . I live in Calif. and hunt Jade in north part of the state. I have found 15 pound an 20 pounf an 30 pound Pure Jade along with smaller pieces. Yes true Jade will do that with a knife it's hardness is just under a dimond. Charley 2 hats

Jade's hardness is not right under diamond. Jade has a Mohs hardness of 6-7 while diamond is 10. Corundum (rubies, sapphires) are 9 and topaz is 8. Most agates run around 7.
