Any help with Jade

Any opinions on this bracelet and the quality of the jade are appreciated. Very strong left metal from knife blade on stone and didn’t scratch. It’s on elastic band

I'm thinking it's aventurine.

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.
