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

This matched pair of natural Burmese jades presents a rare combination of size, symmetry, and untouched provenance that educated collectors and connoisseurs recognize immediately. The two cabochons weigh 12.86 carats and 12.62 carats respectively, and measure 19.87 x 14.99 x 4.75 mm and 20.20 x 14.85 x 4.70 mm. Both are oval in outline, cut as traditional domed cabochons to emphasize their depth of color and internal character, and finished with an excellent polish that reveals surface luster without obscuring internal features. Color is a harmonious bluish green with light intensity, a tone that reads as elegant and restrained rather than overtly vivid, and the clarity has been graded as very slightly included at eye level. Importantly for provenance conscious buyers, these pieces have no enhancement, which means their color, texture and inclusions are entirely natural, and their origin in Burma Myanmar places them within a long esteemed tradition of premium jadeite material that is prized for its fine grain and historical significance. At The Natural Gemstone Company we prioritize accurate description and transparent disclosure, so every physical measurement and grading observation has been carefully recorded to assist your evaluation.

What sets this pair apart and gives them an unmistakable signature is the nature of their internal inclusions, which are diagnostic of natural Burmese jadeite formation. Under magnification the stones display a network of fine silklike threads and fibrous intergrowths, subtle netted veils and microscopic granular aggregates, along with isolated mineral specks that create a delicate peppering effect. These features arise from the jadeite crystal structure and the metamorphic conditions under which it formed, producing an interlocking microcrystalline texture rather than isolated fracture planes. The inclusions are neither large nor detracting, which is reflected in the very slightly included grade at eye level, yet they impart a three dimensional depth and a live character to the cabochon that only natural, untreated material can display. For the discerning buyer these internal signatures serve as both a fingerprint of authenticity and a visual asset, because they scatter light in a way that enhances translucency and imbues the surface with a subtle internal shimmer, especially when set and viewed under directional lighting.

From a value perspective the confluence of attributes here is compelling for collectors and for high quality jewelry applications. Burmese origin remains one of the most important factors in price and desirability for fine jadeite, because regional geology produces a texture and crystalline refinement that responds exceptionally well to high grade cutting and polishing. The light bluish green hue of these cabochons is particularly sought after for those who appreciate a refined, classic aesthetic rather than the more saturated green that commands different market segments. The excellent polish maximizes reflected light and provides a silky hand feel, while the cabochon shape preserves thickness and optical depth, ensuring durability and visual presence when set as a pair of earrings or a matched pendant ensemble. The minimal, naturally occurring inclusions do not compromise toughness, which is a hallmark of jade, and because these pieces are untreated, their value is enhanced by the permanence of their natural color and structure. At The Natural Gemstone Company we can provide detailed evaluation notes upon request to support an informed purchase decision, and our description reflects direct observation of the material rather than speculative claims. For buyers who value provenance, natural formation, and the subtle interplay of texture and light, this pair of Burmese bluish green jades represents a distinguished acquisition, offering both collectible rarity and practical versatility for elegant jewelry design.
