1.13 Ct. Green Cabochon Jade from Burma (Myanmar)

From the remote river valleys of Burma Myanmar this green jade began its long and patient transformation from stone to story. Centuries of pressure and mineral exchange formed the kidney shaped masses of jadeite that lie embedded in the earth, and artisanal miners with generations of experience worked narrow ledges and hidden seams to recover the choicest pieces. This particular piece carries that history within its depth, a rare round of intense green that is the product of time and place. In markets worldwide, vivid green tones of jade are prized and often promised but seldom found in such a naturally rich saturation without treatment, and a round cabochon of this size and hue is a quiet anomaly among the more common fragments and smaller beads that typically surface from the same deposits. With a story rooted in Burmese craft and a hue that calls to mind old court treasures and temple offerings, this stone is more than a gem, it is a fragment of landscape and culture shaped by water and weather, handed down from miner to cutter to collector.

When you hold this stone you feel its deliberate making, the gentle dome of a cabochon cut that invites light to breathe across its surface. The jade is opaque, weighing 1.13 carat, and measuring 9.20 x 9.25 x 1.43 mm in a near perfect round shape, a proportion that is unusually generous for untreated Burmese jade in this color range. Its clarity grade is slightly included evaluated at eye level, inclusions that sit like faint brushstrokes within the green, proof of natural origins and geological character. The intense color intensity is the defining trait, a saturated green that remains bold across the face of the cabochon, while an excellent polish lends the surface a soft, satin glow that echoes traditional lapidary techniques. There has been no enhancement, the stone is offered in its honest state, and that honesty is part of what makes it rare. Many comparable jades on the market receive treatments to deepen tone or clarify texture, but this example retains the original mineral story, making it both a collector object and a jewel of provenance.

Seen in the hand or set into jewelry, this jade behaves like a small heirloom, commanding attention without shouting. Its round cabochon silhouette is ideal for a classic ring or a refined pendant, and because of its size and intense color it will read as a singular focal point rather than as an accent, a distinction that elevates designs and invites bespoke settings. The Natural Gemstone Company selected this gem for customers who seek authenticity and rarity, and we document its Burmese origin and untreated status so you may appreciate its journey from source to shelf. Slight inclusions and natural patterning make each viewing unique, a reminder that no two stones are identical and that each carries a chapter of the mountain and river that birthed it.
