    It looks like serpentine jade to me. Serpentine jade is a very good quality serpentine, not jade. It is also used for Chinese bangles, just like jade.

    I think it gets called olivine too, and "new jade" if you're a beader. Sure looks like good old serpentine from here.

    I think you're right. I got the two confused. But still, jade it ain't.
