  • jade are rarer than marble so therefore more expensive. the finest jade is called imperial jadeite. they sell for millions of dollors for a bangle, strand or even a single pendant. ity has a vivid emerald green color with high translucency.

  • marbles are luxurious on the feet, table and bathub but not as jewelries...

  • Real jade has warmth, depth, a nice weight, and -- if you pay the price -- a gemmy translucent glow. You can find more opaque, but still genuine jades, at lower cost. The very rarest, finest jade resembles fine emerald, but even more glassy/gemmy. I think it looks like fine rare chrysoprase with its chalcedony-like gleam. But real jade of that luster and color would run in the millions (sigh)

  • Thanks for the quick tips on the jade bracelets!

  • @Elbottoo for all u know it could've been your head hitting that wall and u getting a concussion.. haha.. but well.. that's if u believe the myth..

  • @yannigk The jade was on a neckless made out of red fabric. I was swinging the neckless around and it hit the wall and broke the jade. How did that prevent bad luck from falling on me. As far as I know, my life is filled with bad lucks.

  • @Elbottoo doesn't it actually mean that the jade has prevented the bad luck coming your way? (Ie. the bad luck falls on the jade, thats why the jade broke)

  • color, purity, light(the best jade appear to be glowing fadely from below the surface, fake jade are extremely shiny, almost like glass, shiny != good)

  • how do you know that it is fake?
