1.39 Ct. Green Cabochon Jade from Burma (Myanmar)

One beautiful opaque 1.39 carat round shape green jade is presented with precise measurements of 6.25 x 6.29 x 4.47 mm, cut as a cabochon, with a light color intensity, and an excellent polish. The surface displays an even pastel green hue, consistent saturation across the dome, and a waxy to slightly vitreous luster that is characteristic of high quality nephrite and jadeite material from established sources. This specimen is untreated, with no enhancement, and originates from Burma, Myanmar, a locality recognized for producing some of the most desirable green jades in the global market. The round cabochon profile is symmetrical, the girdle is well formed, and the proportions were retained to emphasize color and surface quality rather than maximizing weight alone. The combination of dimensions, weight, and finish yields a gem that reads well in small detailed settings as well as in understated solitaire presentations, and it presents as a precise example of careful lapidary work focused on optical integrity and surface refinement.

The rarity of this piece becomes evident when assessed in context with comparable green jades. Stones of this exact size class, around 6 mm in diameter with a substantial dome and a clean, evenly distributed light green color, are uncommon in current inventories. Many green jades available in the market at similar weights tend to be either faint in color, exhibiting grayish or brownish undertones, or they appear in smaller bead or cabochon formats that do not achieve the same visual presence when set. Conversely, larger pieces with strong, saturated green often command a different market and price tier, and they are less frequently encountered in the small to medium cabochon range with such even color and high polish. The significance of no enhancement further increases rarity, because many specimens offered today undergo treatments to improve translucency or color uniformity. This particular piece therefore occupies a narrow segment of the market, where size, natural color, and finish align without the intervention of enhancement, making it an infrequent offering for collectors and designers seeking material that is both genuine and visually consistent.

From a technical perspective the cabochon cutting style has been executed to prioritize surface continuity and optical stability. The dome height of 4.47 mm relative to the diameter provides a classic high cab profile, which enhances the perception of depth and allows the light to interact smoothly with the internal structure of the stone. The light color intensity should be understood as a measured attribute, indicating a pastel green saturation that is neither pale washed out, nor heavily saturated, which is often preferred for pieces requiring subtlety and versatility in design. The excellent polish minimizes surface scattering and helps present the innate color without distracting reflections, while the opaque bodytone delivers a consistent appearance under a range of lighting conditions. Inclusions are minimal to the naked eye, and the stone displays fine internal texture that contributes to its tactile and visual character instead of detracting from clarity. These attributes support reliable behavior during mounting and setting, and the gem is suitable for rings, pendants, and stud applications where a well proportioned cabochon delivers long term aesthetic stability.

Provenance from Burma, Myanmar, contributes to the contextual value of this jade, given the historical and geological significance of that source in the production of collectible green jade material. The fact that this stone is natural and untreated is a material consideration for both connoisseurs and professionals, because it affirms intrinsic attributes rather than modified appearance. The Natural Gemstone Company maintains detailed documentation and imaging for each item, and additional photographic perspectives or laboratory reporting can be provided on request to support authentication and appraisal needs. Recommended care is conservative, using gentle cleaning with mild soap and a soft cloth, avoiding prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners, and securing settings to prevent abrasion from repeated wear. Presented with clarity, measured specifications, and an emphasis on verifiable qualities, this 1.39 carat round green jade cabochon represents a distinctive option for collectors and designers who prioritize rarity in the combined factors of size, color, and untreated status, within a well executed lapidary form.
