    Hello I have decided to go back to my bag of stones as I seem to have lots of stones & bits that I didn't know about and had just put to one side. This is another piece that I have and just thought it was a nice unusual stone,but now realise that this must be quite a rare bit of stone and could be high quality jade,or maybe emerald ,not sure but thinking jade it's 25mm x 7mm.

      Both of those green stones appear to be jade, but even that is a "rabbit hole" of sorts because there are different stones that are called "jade" and are also graded on multiple scales. http://www.masonkay.com/colors-of-jade

      (Both - meaning the lighter stone and this darker green)

      They both seem to be fragments of round bangles. They might have had metal fittings at the ends that connected them to each other.

      sorry for the multiple posts - this is what it may have been from: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/9d/1e/e5/9d1ee5c7f71f217ad0783f88b57e3cbe.jpg
