Holly, it sounds very likely that this is jade. Black jade has a high content of graphite and/or iron which gives it the appearance of being black, but it is really just a very dark green. In many pieces of black jade you can see green through any parts that are translucent, though translucency is rare. I can't, however, confirm that this piece is jade without taking a look at it. I would suggest testing it with the methods outlined on the How to Identify Jade page.

I was in China and visited the terracotta soldiers in Xi’an. I purchased a Black jade bracelet there. The sales person put a flashlight to the piece and it is actually green motled with black. She said it came from near the tomb of the emporer Qin Shi Huang…have I been snookered?
