10.80 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Cabochon Jade Pair from Burma (Myanmar)

From the river bends and alluvial flats of Burma, Myanmar, a pair of vibrant green jades emerged after seasons of weathering and the slow alchemy of earth, water, and time. Miners, guided by generations of local knowledge, carefully unearthed rough nodules that held within them a promise of color and life. Each nodule carried a history in its grain, a whisper of the landscape where it formed, and a desire to be revealed. At The Natural Gemstone Company we honored that history, selecting a matched pair that shared the same intense color intensity and natural character. The larger stone weighs 5.72 carats, with dimensions 13.75 x 11.92 x 3.68 mm, the companion weighs 5.08 carats, with dimensions 13.81 x 11.77 x 3.40 mm, both shaped to elegant ovals and cut en cabochon to celebrate the stone s inner depth. No enhancement has been applied, the clarity grade is very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, and the polish is excellent, allowing the surface to catch and hold light like a calm pool.

The journey from rough to gem was guided by skilled lapidaries who listened to the material, allowing the natural texture and translucency to dictate the final form. The cabochon cut softens and amplifies the jade s internal glow, creating a tactile domed silhouette that feels warm to the touch and luminous to the eye. Matching two stones requires both technical precision and an aesthetic sense for balance, color harmony, and proportion, qualities that our craftsmen applied with quiet care. These jades carry cultural resonance as well, reflecting centuries of reverence for Burmese jade, a material long prized for its vitality and symbolic associations with prosperity and protection. When set in a ring, pendant, or pair of earrings, this matched duo will bring a sense of continuity, story, and authenticity to any design.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we present these jades not merely as objects, but as moments of the earth made wearable, each with its own journey from place to hand to heart. They invite a wearer to carry a fragment of Burma, Myanmar, a fragment that has been minimally altered and lovingly finished, with intense color, excellent polish, and honest clarity. If you seek a pair that honors natural origin and artisan craft in equal measure, these stones offer a rare combination of provenance, aesthetic harmony, and enduring presence.
