Stone Bangle Appraisal

Teal Stone Bangle Bracelet

This appears to be a carved stone bangle bracelet, exhibiting a rich, dark teal to deep green color with prominent natural veining and lighter inclusions, likely indicative of chrysocolla, malachite, or a similar copper-bearing mineral, or possibly a natural jadeite or nephrite that has been dyed. The overall form is a classic, smoothly polished circular bangle with a rounded exterior profile. Its surface boasts a high polish, reflecting light and highlighting the various color variations and natural patterns within the stone. There are visible white, gray, and lighter teal speckled inclusions and streaks throughout the material, contributing to its organic aesthetic. The construction is solid, carved from a single piece of stone, suggesting traditional craftsmanship. Visible condition issues are minimal from the provided image, with no obvious cracks or chips, though minor surface wear or faint scratches consistent with age and handling might be present upon closer physical inspection. The interior surface also appears smoothly finished. The quality of the carving seems good, with a consistent thickness and evenness around the circumference. Without further information or details on specific gravity or hardness, the exact geological origin and age are difficult to pinpoint, but its style suggests it could be contemporary or vintage Asian-inspired jewelry. The robust nature of the material and the simple, elegant design indicate a piece intended for daily wear.
