Jade bangle question

[MMtwo]

I just bought this bangle cheaply. It is tagged as natural & preowned. I notice the vendor is selling several. While the auction is still up? can you give me your thoughts? Sixty bucks for natural and untreated seems like an overly fortunate bargain. I'll wear the bangle anyhow. I'm just curious.

Can't really tell from the photos and for a supposed antique, the polish/wax is still very good.

You will need to send it to a lab to check it out whether it's Type A or otherwise.

While this has a glutinous base, there is green throughout and the vibrant steaks are good sunny greens. At today's prices for this, width and this larger size, can't find for 80 bucks

Thank you for your thoughts. I am so curious to see what jade is like to wear. I have enjoyed looking at jade posts. I am sure I have nothing to lose with this purchase at this price.

Is a glutinous base bad or undesirable?

It just means it's likely from a mountain deposit rather than from river bed deposits. The latter are usually considered finer with better/high translucency. Price is commensurate with that

Thank you again for your help, @Burmesedaze. I have so much to learn.
