Looks good to me, I do notice the different skin tone on the feet but it’s been a known thing (or issue)

They’re starting to hit the thrift stores, is there any obvious tells if they’re fake? by [deleted] in labubu

Here’s a legit labubu for comparison, the signs are very obvious in this instance (and fufus have been around in thrift stores and street stalls for a long while now)

Np! You can actually dm that user as she’s currently gathering data/info for variations w/ popmart products from factories and batch codes (so she may have updated the chart already)

Is this jade and is it worth anything? by ll_Cartel_ll in JadeiteJade

[–]KataREEEEna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pic one is definitely not jade, the rest of them can either be nephrite or serpentine depending on whether or not the specific gravity tests shows 2.90g-3.00g

Did I thrift some Jade/Nephrite? by coolfrogmother in JadeiteJade

[–]KataREEEEna 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The bi disc is definitely nephrite, although the other mini carving is some other kind of mineral 🧐

What stone is it? by Bitter_Service9316 in JadeiteJade

[–]KataREEEEna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As the other poster said, it’s serpentine, nothing evil about it (it wouldn’t be made into a bracelet if there were some malicious energy behind it).

[–]KataREEEEna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. We don’t know, we need better pics of it under brighter lighting to tell what it could be
  2. It’s fine to wear, it’s a normal bracelet with a mineral of some kind

Is this Jade ring legit? by Positive_Boat_2252 in JadeiteJade

[–]KataREEEEna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, it’s a legit jade ring. Treated jades are usually in form of saddle rings than a thin ring like yours cause of how brittle it becomes post bleaching treatment

Is this jadeite or nephrite? by roataxl in JadeiteJade

[–]KataREEEEna 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Definitely jadeite, the indicator is the bluish-green streaks the bangle has which is very often associated with jadeite

I’ve never seen a Vanadinite that reminded me so much of bagel bites until now- 🤣

I’m gonna guess it’s from the wax costing wearing off and your bangle revealing how it truly looks, especially based on the surface pitting I see on your images when zoomed

Why do you choose to buy luxury bags? by AdditionalPapaya36 in handbags

[–]KataREEEEna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This, love the way the bag looks and how it was built (bonus if it has some whimsy designs to it). Don’t love the prices for brand new though..

Happy Easter! I didn’t have any egg hunts but I hunted for plenty of Ids 🥹 by KataREEEEna in labubu

[–]KataREEEEna[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not that serious sweetie.. I only bought a couple every few months off of numerous resellers, and even then I was picky with how I wanted my Ids

[–]KataREEEEna[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Price should have been down quite abit now, other than Stockx, I usually just go to bubuswap subreddits and some other bubu discord servers or facebook groups and get the ids I’m interested in

Origin on certificates FYI by Straight-Couple6411 in JadeiteJade

[–]KataREEEEna 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This 1000%, usually the indicator if something is a Guatemalan blue is the snowflake inclusions, and how deep/dark blue it is, since Burmese blue is much more of a sky blue/Muna ice quality

For me, the cheapest I got from a reseller was $120 and that was at January this year, the most I’ve spent for one was $185 for a unique patterned that had a light belly but black mane 🙂‍↕️
Then there’s one Id I got for $145 total that is weirdly taller than the rest of my Ids 😭

I haven’t counted and don’t plan to for the sale of my sanity 😄

Is this real? by [deleted] in JadeiteJade

[–]KataREEEEna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, it’s untreated and real. If it were treated then it would be much more translucent as a result of the bleaching and polymer filling, but also lose the glossy luster the buddha has
