I like the tricolor of this jade bangle but am unsure about the internal structures shown in the pictures. Are those just textures of lower quality jadeite or the after fact of acid treatment? I was told structure of the jade IMG_0569.jpeg is destroyed after acid treatment to become “spider web like “ but it’s hard for me to differentiate that from the normal internal structure of jadeite. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Hopefully the Jade experts will be along.
There is so much to learn and know about Jade and so it is recommended you buy from known and trusted vendors.
Unfortunately “Jade certificates” are a dime a dozen on sites like eBay and Etsy so always assume treated and pay accordingly. If you like the bangle and it’s cheap, like under $100 cheap, why not but remember good quality A grade Jade bangles cost in the thousands.

I'd say it is acid washed (and even dyed).

It looks strange to me, and I have seen lots of jadeite.
High quality jadeite is usually much more densely packed and fine textured. This one looks as if it has been treated. The blob of yellow looks suspicious.
