Whats it made of?

First the red one: i got it when i was like 9 years old, thus my mom certainly did not buy real jade. The sound is dull and far from high pitched. Also accidently slammed agaist it A LOT of time over the years but always got away with some cracks - i suppose its pretty hard? Though i know its not high quality, it has a high sentimental worth to me since i wore it over a decade. I heard some jewelry is made of pressed stone powder, could it be the case? Have you ever heard of this procedure?

Now the white one: feels really smooth and cold, has a high pitched sound. Dont mind the cracks, i slammed against it a couple times, so i wont wear it anymore cause i am scared it might break. I was thinking, maybe quarzite? Do you think it could be real jade?

This Hetian jade bangle has an exceptionally fine texture, to the point that it almost gives the impression of glutinous-icy jadeite. A touch of bright green makes it stand out even more. To the naked eye, there is almost no visible cotton structure, some only visible under flashlight.
