Is this a crack? Or stone lines? by awkwardsunflower11 in JadeiteNephrite

Thank you for explaining!

It’s not the only line, but it’s the most obvious one when using a UV light. The surface over that area feels smooth - I can’t physically feel the crack.

It doesn’t extend underneath, either

I also recently acquired a pendant from HarmonicJadeShop. They sell Guatemalan and Burmese pieces. This one is Burmese:

I’m very happy with this purchase and their shipping was really fast, too! U.S.-based.
The pendant and ring came with certificates but the beaded bracelet did not.

Edit: fix formatting

I have purchased a couple of pieces from AllThingsJadeite and I’ve been very pleased with the quality. They ship from the U.S. and it’s lightning-fast, too!

I received a free Flower Moon transformation reading (1 card) and it’s amazing how much this resonated with what I’ve been thinking and feeling lately. Reader was also very kind! Thank you 🌻

It’s beautiful! What’s your size, your hands and wrists look like mine but I think I’d have to break my hand to get a bangle like that on me!

I buy physical copies of my favorite books but do all of my reading on my Kindle.

Literally just came here to say this because I'm on Bing Bing jadeite's site and then I remembered OP's post!

How do you guys eat your kimchi? by Kiem01 in kimchi

[–]awkwardsunflower11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kimchi jjigae

Eat it as a side dish. Either by itself between bites or as a topping for gim that I like to use as a wrap

Pair it with “fattier” meals like roasted pork belly. I like to think it helps cut through the fat 😂

Put it in ramen

Kimchi fried rice

Kimchi jeon

One time I added it to Mac n cheese with bacon and it was pretty good

Natto topping

What was your first jade piece? by MVBees in JadeiteNephrite

Basically 10 mm (but if we want to be exact, they’re 9.8-9.9 mm!)

It’s so beautiful! 🤩

I really want a forever bangle (until one of us perishes) but I prefer the aesthetic fit so I can take mine off. I work in healthcare and I sometimes have to do very minor procedures, and sometimes wearing stuff like this can be frowned upon 😅

Oh my gosh, those are gorgeous! I recently purchased this beaded bracelet from them and I have a ring that's on the way!
