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

This pair of translucent green jades presents a balanced combination of weight, size, and finish, with individual weights of 1.40 carats and 1.41 carats respectively, and dimensions measuring 6.19 by 6.26 by 4.58 millimeters and 6.19 by 6.12 by 4.73 millimeters. Both stones are round in shape and rendered as cabochon cuts, exhibiting a medium color intensity and an even, translucent body. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and the polish is excellent, producing a smooth reflective surface and uniform luster. These jades are natural and untreated, with no enhancements, and their documented origin is Burma Myanmar. The combination of their closely matched masses, near identical proportions, and consistent tonal properties makes them suitable for matched jewelry applications where symmetry and visual harmony are required.

Finding two gemstones that match this closely is uncommon, and the rarity arises from several inherent factors in natural material and the lapidary process. Jade forms with variable mineral content and internal structure, which leads to differences in color, translucency, and inclusion patterns even within a single source deposit. During cutting and shaping, lapidaries must respond to the orientation of fibers and inclusions in each rough piece, which often dictates subtle changes in size, weight, and surface texture to preserve clarity and avoid fractures. Achieving a pair that aligns to within one hundredth of a carat in weight, while also matching round dimensions and cabochon profile, requires careful selection of contiguous rough or matched pieces, precise cutting and polishing, and an acceptance of natural inclusions that do not detract from overall appearance. For collectors and designers, well matched pairs reduce the need for compensatory settings, and they preserve the aesthetic integrity of earrings and paired mounts. At The Natural Gemstone Company we catalog and present matched stones with detailed measurements and origin information to support informed selection, and this pair exemplifies the uncommon concurrence of natural quality, precise lapidary work, and consistent visual character.
