Nephrite bracelet

I was lucky enough to get 2 green Nephrite LE beads at my LDs when they first came out. Smile

MMP inspired me with her green and amber combo.

Glad to be of service, Beadgirl! I just wonder if we really have the same beads Laughing

? Yours look so much greener (mine is more mossy) and have a different structure than mine. Could be the light though...
Or you have chrysoprase and I Nephrite? Come over, have some beadplay and lets compare them Wink

I think there are at least two different types of green being used. I have one mossy green bead and two that are a rich green (rather like the ones on your bracelet).

Sorry - forgot to say - wonderful bracelet (and can I have you green and white glass bead if you ever get fed up with it? Smile

)

These are my versions.

Maybe your right MMP. Someone on the Macs forum told me what they were. Natural jade I think. Rolling Eyes

I would love love love to come over and have bead play. How much is the flight? bounce

@Brightonbelle you have some lovely stones. There does look like 2 different sorts of green bead. I don't mind what they are called, I just love mine. Very Happy

I love the green stones of both types and had to stop myself buying more of them. I have an odd dark petrol blue stone too that mystifies me.

Sorry don't have any at the moment but will try to sort something out. Not sure the colour will show well in pics though.

Yes please, BB, I'd love to see that petrol one too!
Grrrrr... why didn't TB release a list WITH pics for the LE gemstones?

I love all these gemstones pictures - and completely agree with MMP.

Do you think we could email TB HQ and ask them to put pictures to the long list of stones which LoupyLou posted??
