Can I get opinions on this aquamarine bangle?

So I’ve been on a birthstone kick and while looking for something else, I came across this:

I had a couple jade bangles in the past but both cracked. I’ve been meaning to replace it but wanted a Ming’s jade bangle - but it’s so spendy for an item I’ve already broken twice.

I’m wondering if this could be my solution to replacing my jade bangle and wanting birthstone pieces.

I’m not sure it’s actually aqua though.

I’m not sure it’s actually aqua though.

I'm skeptical, too. It may be colored quartz.
I looked at their other offerings, and they call some other transparent material "crystal quartz"

It was too good to be true.

It’s pretty but I sincerely doubt it’s natural aquamarine.
In any case, I don’t know if Beryl is a good choice for a stone bangle.
someone on PS a few years ago bought an absolutely exquisite ruby stone bangle. It was an expensive piece!
It was stunning, right up until it was accidentally bumped and it broke into pieces.
jadeite and nephrite are quite “fibrous“ gemstones so I think that adds to their structure strength and are therefore well suited to being crafted into a one piece stone bangle.
if you like the price, the colour, don’t mind what material it might actually be and won’t be devastated if it breaks, why not.
